Changed from 'Still Processing' to 'Being Processed' after ID verification - cycle code 05 filers what should I expect?

This is actually a good sign! The transition from "still processing" to "being processed" typically means your return has moved forward in the system after successful verification. For cycle code 05, you're correct that your official transcript updates would come on Thursdays. Here's what's likely happening: • The WMR tool updated first (common pattern) • Your transcript will likely update in the next 24-48 hours • After verification, most people see transcript codes within 5-9 days • You might see codes 570/971 first (don't panic, normal after verification) • Then look for code 846 with your refund date Check your transcripts tomorrow morning - many people see updates overnight Wednesday into Thursday. The change you're seeing now is a positive indicator that your verification was successful and your return is being actively worked.

I was so confused by my status changing and transcript still showing n/a. Ended up using taxr.ai to explain what was going on with my refund. It scanned everything and actually told me exactly what the hold up was, why my transcript wasn't populated yet, and when I could expect updates. Saved me so much stress! https://taxr.ai

After weeks of trying to understand what "being processed" meant, I finally got through to an actual IRS agent using claimyr.com. The rep confirmed my ID verification went through and explained exactly when I'd see my refund. Talking to someone who could actually see my file was the best thing - they released my refund right on the call! Totally worth it to finally get answers instead of staring at the WMR tool for another month.

DONT GET EXCITED. I had same thing happen, changed to 'being processed' after verification, then nothing for 7 more weeks. the irs is just a massive clown show 🤡

yep, mine changed from "still processing" to "being processed" about 3 days after verification. got my DDD exactly 8 days later. hang in there!

The language difference between "still processing" and "being processed" is actually significant. "Still processing" often means there's a hold or delay, while "being processed" means it's actively moving through the system. For cycle 05, expect transcript updates tomorrow. You might see 2 stages of updates - first the verification processing codes and then your refund date (typically 1 week later). The system updates in batches, so it's unlikely you'll see more changes before your cycle date.

Am I the only one who verified ID but never saw any status change? Still stuck on "still processing" for 11 weeks now 😭

05 cycle code filer here too. Been through this exact scenario last year. After ID verification, status changed within 2-3 days but transcript didn't update until the following Thursday. Got my refund exactly 9 days after the status changed to "being processed." The system is pretty predictable once your ID is verified.

I got so sick of trying to decode the WMR messages that I started using taxr.ai - it tells you exactly what's happening with your refund by analyzing transcript patterns. Saved me from pulling my hair out this tax season. https://taxr.ai

I'm a CPA and see this pattern constantly. The timeline is usually: - ID verification - 2-5 days: WMR changes from "still" to "being" processed - Next cycle date: Transcript begins populating - 5-10 days after verification: Refund date appears So it's a good sign but you'll need to wait a bit longer. Check tomorrow morning.

mine did the exact same thing! verification on tuesday, status changed friday, got my $$$ the next wednesday. hang in there 💰

I know your feeling! I was stuck in verification hell forever and the status change was such a tease. I was obsessively checking for weeks until I used taxr.ai which actually explained the pattern in my account. Once they told me the exact day to expect my refund, I could finally stop checking every 5 minutes. Highly recommend checking it out.

Ok I'll be the voice of reason here. The status change IS positive, but it doesn't guarantee anything. I've seen it switch back and forth multiple times. Your cycle code matters most. Since you're 05, check tomorrow morning around 6am EST - that's when most transcript updates appear.

After 3 months of blank transcripts and status changing around like this, I finally got through to a human at the IRS using claimyr.com and they told me the REAL story - there was an unreported income flag on my account that was never going to resolve without me calling in. Talking to a real person saved me months of waiting. whatever it costs to talk to a human is worth it trust me

Literally JUST went through this exact situation. Timeline: - ID verified April 4 - Status changed to "being processed" April 8 - No transcript update until April 11 (Thursday - I'm cycle 05 too) - Refund deposited April 17 So about 2 weeks from verification to money in my account. Hang in there!

I had the exact opposite experience. Verified, status changed, then nothing for months. Finally got through to someone at the IRS who said they never received my documentation even though the system showed I verified. The system is a joke.

ok honest truth - the wording change means nothing. NOTHING. it's the transcripts that matter. but since you're a cycle 05, if your transcript updates tomorrow with an 846 code, you should see a deposit next week. if no update tomorrow, you're still in limbo. sorry but thats how it works.

I was stuck on the same hamster wheel for months until I broke down and used claimyr.com to talk to a real person. My experience was eye-opening - apparently my account had been flagged for an issue that would NEVER be fixed automatically. The agent fixed it while I was on the phone and my refund was in my account 6 days later. Sometimes you have to talk to a human to move things along.

im in exactly the same boat as u right now lol. verified last thursday, status changed yesterday. from the research I've done, the change in wording is definitely step 1 of good news. Now we just gotta wait til our cycle days (I'm 05 too). Hoping we both wake up to good news tmrw!!!
