Filed 2022 Return in 2024: Timeline for $7,417 Refund with EIC After Feb 17 Processing Date

Finally filed my 2022 taxes last week after getting all my documents together. I filed as Head of Household with 4 exemptions. My Adjusted Gross Income was $19,649.00 with $0.00 taxable income. I had self-employment income of $19,531.00 with a total self-employment tax of $3,835.00. According to my account transcript, my return was processed on Feb. 18, 2025 even though the return due date was Apr. 15, 2025. The IRS shows I have a total refund of $8,417.00. Here's the transaction details from my account: TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed 20250505 02-18-2025 $3,835.00 76211-417-49262-5 663 Estimated tax payment 01-30-2024 -$1,600.00 662 Removed estimated tax payment 01-30-2024 $1,600.00 960 Appointed representative 09-28-2024 $0.00 766 Credit to your account 04-16-2025 -$3,422.00 768 Earned income credit 04-16-2025 -$8,830.00 So my total account balance shows -$8,417.00 as of Feb. 18, 2025 with $0.00 accrued interest and $0.00 accrued penalty. Wondering what the current processing time is for prior year returns? Anyone file a 2022 return recently that can share their timeline? Really need this refund and hoping it won't take forever. I'm especially curious how long it typically takes after the processing date to actually receive the refund. I'm counting on this money and the earned income credit especially is a big help.

Prior year returns typically take 16-20 weeks to process these days. The IRS is still catching up on their backlog, but 2022 returns are moving faster than 2021 returns did. Make sure you keep checking your transcript for updates.

You can create an account on irs.gov to view your transcripts. But honestly they can be pretty confusing to read if you dont know what your looking for

Hey! You should try taxr.ai - it's literally changed the game for understanding transcripts and getting actual timeline predictions. It costs $4.99 but saved me weeks of stress trying to figure out my refund status. Just upload your transcript and it tells you everything you need to know! https://taxr.ai

Have you verified your identity? That's usually the first hold up with prior year returns.

Best advice I can give after dealing with this last year - get your transcript analyzed by taxr.ai, setup direct deposit, and dont call the IRS unless you see an actual issue code. Calling just wastes your time, they cant speed anything up.
