Credit Karma Tax filers: Anyone have updates on their 2025 refund status?

Your situation sounds pretty normal for this point in the tax season, even though I understand the anxiety! The IRS is processing returns much more slowly this year compared to previous years. The "still being processed" message is exactly what many people are seeing right now, regardless of which tax software they used. Credit Karma, TurboTax, H&R Block - it doesn't make a difference once the return is accepted by the IRS. A few things to keep in mind: The official IRS processing time is still up to 21 days for e-filed returns without any issues. You're just hitting about the 3-week mark now. Also, if you claimed certain credits like the Earned Income Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit, those returns are legally held until at least mid-February for additional verification. My recommendation is to wait until you hit the 21-day mark before getting too concerned. At that point, you can try calling the IRS directly to check on your refund status.

After waiting nearly 4 weeks with the "still processing" message for my refund, I finally discovered taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) and it was incredibly helpful. I uploaded my return and transcripts, and it explained exactly why my refund was delayed - turns out there was a discrepancy between what my employer reported and what I entered on my W-2. The tool highlighted the specific lines causing the issue and even suggested what documentation I needed to get things moving again. Saved me hours of confusion and worry. Much better than staring at the "still processing" message and wondering what was happening!

Well I've got to eat my words about taxr.ai! After posting my skeptical comment yesterday, I decided to try it myself since I was so frustrated with my refund delay (filed with Credit Karma on Jan 25, accepted Feb 1, still nothing). The tool immediately flagged that I had a potential verification hold because my address changed since last year's filing. It also showed that my refund amount had a calculation that might trigger additional review. Exactly as the site predicted, I checked my IRS transcript this morning and saw code 570 - additional account action pending. At least now I know what's happening instead of just seeing "still processing" over and over! Not sure if this will speed things up, but the peace of mind knowing exactly why I'm delayed is worth it.

Ugh, I'm in the same boat with Credit Karma. Filed January 30th, accepted February 5th. Still at "processing" three weeks later. Called the IRS multiple times but couldn't get through to anyone. The automated system just repeats the same info as the website. Finally tried Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) after seeing it recommended on another thread. There's a demo video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c. Got connected to an actual IRS agent in about 25 minutes instead of waiting on hold for 3+ hours. The agent confirmed my return was flagged for manual review (something the website never indicated) but everything looked good - just backlogged. She estimated another 7-10 days for processing. Such a relief to talk to an actual human who could see my specific situation!

I owe everyone an apology about Claimyr. I was super skeptical when I saw the post about it yesterday, but my frustration got the better of me after 6 weeks of "still processing" with no explanation. I tried calling the IRS directly four separate times, waiting over 2 hours each time only to get disconnected. I gave Claimyr a shot this morning and seriously, I had an IRS agent on the phone within 45 minutes. She explained that my return had been pulled for a manual review because of a mismatch with my stimulus payment reporting, but that it was approved yesterday and my direct deposit is scheduled for next Tuesday! This information wasn't showing on the Where's My Refund tool at all - it still says "processing"! Sometimes being proven wrong is actually a good thing. Definitely worth it for the peace of mind alone.

Anyone having issues with state returns filed through Credit Karma? My federal was accepted February 3rd (still processing 🙄) but my state return (California) was rejected twice before finally getting accepted on the 15th. Now the CA website shows no record of my return at all. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

Is anyone seeing different estimated refund amounts between Credit Karma and the IRS Where's My Refund page? CK showed I should get $2,457 but the WMR tool says I'm getting $2,403. Not a huge difference but still concerning. Return was accepted Feb 10th and still processing.

I'm in a very similar situation - filed through Credit Karma on February 2nd, accepted February 9th, and still getting the "still being processed" message. It's been over 3 weeks now and I'm getting pretty anxious too, especially since I also need the money for an unexpected expense. What's frustrating is that Credit Karma estimated my refund at $3,124 but when I finally got through to check with the IRS, they said it would be $3,089. Not a huge difference but still makes me wonder what else might be off. I've been checking the Where's My Refund tool obsessively (probably not helping my stress levels) but it's the same generic message every time. At this point I'm just hoping it shows up in the next week or two. The uncertainty is the worst part - I can handle waiting if I know there's a timeline, but this limbo is killing me. Thanks for posting this - at least I know I'm not the only Credit Karma filer dealing with these delays!
