Filed 2024 Taxes But IRS Still Shows "Verification of Non-Filing" Status - Will Transcripts Update Tonight?
I filed my taxes but when I check my transcript on sa.www4.irs.gov, it's showing 'Verification of Non-Filing Letter' which states "the IRS does not have a record of a processed tax return as of the letter's date." It's been like this since I filed. When I look at the website at 3:07, I can see my "Available transcripts" section clearly shows: - 2024 Verification of Non-Filing Letter [PDF] EN - 2023 Return Transcript [PDF] EN - 2022 Return Transcript [PDF] EN - 2021 Return Transcript [PDF] EN The website explains that Return Transcripts "show most line items from your Form 1040-series tax return as it was originally filed, including associated forms and schedules. Lending institutions offering mortgages often accept return transcripts." It also explains the Verification of Non-Filing Letter: "This letter states that the IRS does not have a record of a processed tax return as of the letter's date. Either no tax return was filed for this year or your tax return is still being processed." I understand what Return Transcripts are supposed to do - "show most line items from your Form 1040-series tax return as it was originally filed, including associated forms and schedules," but I'm still stuck with this Non-Filing status for 2024 while having proper Return Transcripts for 2023, 2022, and 2021. Anyone know if the transcripts update tonight? Starting to get worried about my refund. From what I can see at 3:07, nothing has changed yet on the sa.www4.irs.gov site. I keep refreshing the page hoping to see my 2024 Return Transcript appear instead of this Non-Filing Letter.

The IRS transcript page shows you have access to Return Transcripts for 2021-2023, but for 2024 you're only seeing a Verification of Non-Filing Letter. This is completely normal at this stage - the "Non-Filing" status simply means your 2023 return (which you'd see in the 2024 transcript system) is still being processed, not that there's any problem with your filing. The key parts of your transcript view show: - Return Transcripts available for the past 3 years (2021-2023) - A 2024 Verification of Non-Filing Letter, which is standard during processing - The system clearly explains that a Non-Filing Letter appears in two situations: either no return was filed OR the return is still being processed Since you've filed and can see previous years' transcripts, you're just in the processing queue. The IRS typically updates transcripts during their overnight processing window (usually Friday mornings between midnight and 3am EST). However, not every return updates on a weekly basis, so continue monitoring both your transcript and the Where's My Refund tool for the most current status.

•Processing times vary, but most e-filed returns are processed within 21 days. Paper returns can take 6-8 weeks or longer.

hey instead of checking obsessively every day (been there lol) try using taxr.ai - its only $1 and it analyzes your transcript to tell you exactly whats going on and when to expect your refund. saved me so much anxiety https://taxr.ai

Quick tip: If you filed with a IP PIN make sure it was correct, that was my issue last year when this happened to me

I went through this exact same thing last month! The non-filing letter is actually a good sign - it means the IRS has your return in their system but it's still processing. When I was obsessively checking (guilty as charged lol), I noticed the transcripts typically update Friday mornings around 2-3 AM EST. Pro tip: bookmark the direct transcript page and check it Friday mornings instead of multiple times throughout the week. The system only updates once weekly for most people. Also keep an eye on "Where's My Refund" tool - sometimes that updates before the transcript does. Hang in there, you should see movement soon! 🤞
