Filed 1/23, 60 Day Review, Now They Need Documents - Faxed Bank Statements Today

The IRS document verification process is like a black hole where your papers go in but feedback rarely comes out. I had a similar situation where I faxed documents and waited 4 weeks with no confirmation. It's like sending a message in a bottle across the ocean - you hope someone finds it but have no way to track it. I eventually had to send a second set through certified mail to be sure.

This happened to me last tax season! I had to provide additional verification for my dependents. I faxed my documents on March 15th and didn't hear anything for 32 days. Then suddenly on April 17th my transcript updated with an 846 code and I got my deposit 3 days later. The worst part was never knowing if they actually received my fax or if it was sitting in a pile somewhere. I was worried sick about it the whole time.

Is this service really accurate? I'm nervous about using third-party tools with my tax information. How does it actually work? Does it just read the codes or does it actually predict when you'll get your refund?

Used it myself last mth when stuck in review. It doesn't ask for SSN or anything personal - just reads the codes on ur transcript that u upload. Basically translates IRS-speak into normal language. Helped me figure out I was in manual review bc of a math error the IRS found. Saved me tons of anxiety!

Thank you for sharing this resource! I've been recommending taxr.ai to clients who get confused by their transcripts. The IRS website provides the raw data, but most people don't understand what the cycle codes and transaction dates actually mean for their specific situation. It's particularly helpful for wage verification cases like this one.

Wow! I had no idea there were actual published guidelines for this stuff! I always thought it was just random how long they took. I've been stressing about my review for weeks not knowing there were actual timeframes they're supposed to follow. This is super helpful!

I went through this exact situation on April 2nd, 2023. The bank statements were accepted without issue, but it still took them until May 11th to process everything. The agent told me they're severely backlogged this year compared to last, so the published guidelines might not apply perfectly.

Isn't that just paying for something that should be free? The IRS should have better phone systems. I'm hesitant to pay for a service when the government should provide basic customer service.

How much does Claimyr cost? And did they actually help resolve anything or just connect you to an agent? I've been trying to get through for days but keep getting the 'high call volume' message.

This is exactly right. When I was under review last year, my transcript updated with a 971 code (notice issued) three days after I faxed my documents, then a 571 code about two weeks later. WMR didn't update until after the 846 (refund issued) code appeared. The transcripts are definitely the better source of information.

Just to clarify - you can check your transcript every day through the IRS website. Go to IRS.gov, click 'Get Transcript Online' and look at your 2023 Account Transcript. The codes will be on the right side with dates. Even if your return is still processing, you might see activity codes that show they received your documents.
