Filed 1/27 - Stuck on One Bar WMR with Dependents - Can't Access Transcripts

This is actually pretty common right now. The one bar status usually means your return is in the initial processing stage. With dependents, they're doing extra verification this year because of all the covid relief credits. Try checking your transcripts again in a few days - the system gets overloaded this time of year.

This is typical for early filers with dependents. The IRS is doing additional verification on returns with child tax credits and EIC. Usually takes 21 days minimum, but can stretch longer if they need to verify income or dependent info. Keep checking your transcripts daily - thats where youll see movement first.

Hey! I was stuck like this too until someone here recommended taxr.ai - its this tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on and when to expect your refund. Its only $1 and totally worth it. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

same boat friend, filed 1/25 with 3 dependents. one bar gang unite 🤜🤛

Have you tried calling the IRS? Sometimes they can see more info than what shows online

pro tip: check your transcripts at exactly midnight EST. thats when they update the system. learned that the hard way last year lol

If your WMR says still processing and you cant view transcripts, its usually bc theyre still loading your return into the system. Give it time fam

same boat! filed 1/25, one bar, 3 dependents. this waiting game is killing meee 🤮

Honestly the whole system is trash rn. My sister filed same day as you and already got her refund but she had no deps

mine was stuck on 1 bar for 6 weeks last year wit deps. ended up getting it mid march. hang in there fam

The IRS is literally playing games with us at this point lololol
