Filed 1/20 with TurboTax, IRS still shows only 'received' status - Anyone else stuck?
Filed through turbotax on January 20th and got acceptance on the 21st but the IRS website hasnt updated at all. Just shows received status. Even paid extra for the 5-day early refund but nothing happening. Starting to get worried since the website updates daily but no movement at all.

The IRS is still processing 2023 returns, and many early filers are seeing delays. The 5-day early refund service through TurboTax only kicks in after the IRS releases your refund - it's not a guarantee of faster IRS processing. Keep checking WMR and your transcript for updates. Most early filers should see movement within 21 days unless there are verification issues.

Hey guys just wanted to share something that helped me - I was in the same boat but found this tool called taxr.ai that analyzed my transcript and explained exactly what was happening. Its only $1 and way better than trying to decode everything yourself. https://taxr.ai

Did you check your transcript? Sometimes that updates before WMR

•Go to irs.gov/transcripts and make an account. You'll need ID verification tho
