Filed 1/12, IRS Shows 'Processing' Since 1/17 - What's Next?

Filed my taxes on January 12th and got accepted by IRS on the 17th. When I check Where's My Refund it just says processing. No bars, no date estimate nothing. Starting to get worried since everyone I know who filed after me already got their refunds. Should I be concerned?

This is actually pretty normal for this time of year. The IRS is still processing returns from previous years, and early filers often get caught in verification queues. If you claimed EIC or CTC, it could take until mid-February at minimum. Keep checking your transcript for updates rather than WMR - it's more accurate.

How do I check my transcript? The whole IRS website is so confusing 😫

Go to IRS.gov, look for 'Get Transcript Online' - you'll need to create an account if you haven't already. Just heads up, you might need a credit card or loan account to verify your identity.

Hey! Instead of trying to decode your transcript yourself, try taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening with your refund and when to expect it. It's only $1 and WAY better than playing detective with those confusing transcript codes. https://taxr.ai

Is this legit? Sounds too good to be true tbh 🤔

100% legit! Used it last week and it told me exactly why my refund was delayed (random review) and when it would hit my account. Was spot on!

Just tried it - holy cow where has this been all my life?! So much better than trying to google every code 💯
