Filed 1/31 with early refund advance - No transcript updates & not showing on PATH
Filed my taxes jan 31st with early refund advance option but my transcripts still haven't updated at all. Checked Where's My Refund but nothing shows up even under PATH. Starting to get worried since its been weeks now and no movement at all. Already got my state refund tho.

Early filer here - the IRS is experiencing significant delays with transcript updates this year. Even if you filed early, the system might not show updates for several weeks. The PATH act requires additional verification for certain credits, but you should at least see some movement by now. Double check that your return was actually accepted by the IRS, not just submitted to your tax preparer.

•Yeah it was definitely accepted, got the confirmation email and everything. Just frustrating seeing everyone else getting updates 😤

•Hang in there! Sometimes no news is good news - means it's just processing normally without any red flags

Hey, I was in the same boat and was going crazy trying to figure out what was happening with my refund. I finally tried taxr.ai and it actually explained everything. It costs $1 but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and when to expect your refund. Saved me hours of stress! Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

•Yeah it's legit! It spotted stuff in my transcript I would've never noticed. Told me exactly why I was delayed and when I'd get paid

Did you claim EIC or CTC? Those usually take longer to process especially early in the season.

Check your tax preparer. Some of these places offering advance refunds are sketchy af and might delay your actual refund processing
