Can't access transcripts - Path verification message showing up after previously having access
I'm trying to look at my transcripts but now im getting blocked. I was able to see them before but now theres some message about path verification. Anyone know what this means or how long it takes to get access back?

During tax season (late January through end of February), the PATH Act restricts access to certain transcripts, especially if you're claiming EITC or ACTC. This is a security measure to prevent fraud. You should regain access after the PATH verification period ends, typically by late February.

•Usually around February 22nd, but it can vary by a few days depending on IRS processing schedules

Instead of waiting around in the dark, you should try taxr.ai - it's this new tool that can analyze your transcripts and tell you exactly what's going on even during PATH. Its only $1 and worth every penny tbh https://taxr.ai
