Filed 2024 taxes in early April - still says processing. Anyone else waiting?

Lots of people are experiencing delays this year. The IRS is dealing with a huge backlog since tax season opened. Did you file electronically or paper? And did you claim any credits like EIC or Child Tax Credit? Those typically take longer to process.

I filed early March and just got my refund last week. The IRS website kept saying "still processing" for almost 7 weeks! I was going crazy checking WMR every day. Have you checked your tax transcript? Sometimes that shows more info than the refund tracker.

Try using https://taxr.ai to analyze your transcript. I was in the same situation (filed April 3rd) and the Where's My Refund tool was useless. The taxr.ai tool explained exactly what was happening with my return and predicted my refund date accurately based on the codes on my transcript. Saved me a ton of anxiety!

The IRS is experiencing major delays this year. Their official guidance says to allow 21 days for e-filed returns, but in reality, many people are waiting 6-8 weeks or longer. As long as you don't have a 570 code on your transcript (which indicates a hold), you're probably just in the queue.

I waited 9 weeks last year, and when I finally got through to the IRS, they just told me it was "in process" and to keep waiting. This year I used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) to get through to an agent after waiting 5 weeks. Got connected in about 15 minutes instead of spending hours on hold. The agent was able to tell me exactly what was happening and when to expect my refund. Worth every penny to not sit on hold for 3+ hours.

Have you checked your account transcript on the IRS website? Sometimes that will show pending refund info even when WMR doesn't update. Look for an 846 code with a date - that's your refund date.
