Filed 2/10, accepted 2/11, transcript completely blank and WMR still says processing after 30+ days

Thanks for the detailed response. Haven't received any letters in the mail yet, so I guess they're just taking their sweet time. I'll give them another week before attempting to call.

good luck getting through on that number LOL took me 9 tries last year and even then got disconnected twice

I've been in this exact situation before. Not fun at all. Filed early January last year and didn't see movement until March. Hang in there!

Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it just read your transcript or does it do more?

It's actually mindblowing! It doesn't just read the transcript - it interprets EVERYTHING. Explains every code, tells you what each date means, estimates your refund timeline, and explains exactly why you're experiencing delays. Totally transformed my tax season anxiety into actual understanding. Cannot recommend it enough!

another service to pay for? the IRS should just fix their systems and make this info accessible 🙄

I thought the same thing at first but when you see how much clarity it provides vs hours of googling random codes and getting nowhere... totally worth it. The IRS *should* fix their systems but we all know that's not happening anytime soon lol

this seems sketchy af... does it actually work tho? I've been trying to reach anyone at the IRS for 2 weeks straight 😩

I was super skeptical too, but it genuinely works. They basically navigate the phone system and get you in the queue, then call you back when an agent is ready. Talking to the agent directly was what finally got my refund moving. Was the best money I ever spent considering I was waiting on thousands in my refund.

how long did it take from when you used it until you got a callback? debating if it's worth it

For me it was about 45 minutes total from when I started until I was on the phone with an actual IRS rep. Way better than the 6+ hours I spent trying to get through myself across multiple days.

After seeing this I might give it a try...I'm getting desperate at this point and need some answers.

This! I had the exact same thing happen. No letter, nothing in my account, but my return was on hold for 2 months because I needed to verify my identity.

Weird, I just checked that site and it says I'm not eligible to use it. Not sure if that's good or bad news...

That usually means they haven't flagged you for identity verification, which is good! But still doesn't explain the blank transcript. My next guess would be some kind of income verification hold or just general processing backlog.

That's actually reassuring to hear. I've been checking multiple times daily which is probably making my anxiety worse. I'll try to chill out about it.

this is the problem with our tax system. we're all just sitting here like 🤡 waiting for OUR OWN MONEY to maybe show up someday if the irs feels like it

Any idea how long the ERS review typically takes? I triple checked everything before submitting so I can't imagine what error there would be.

ERS can take 8-12 weeks unfortunately. And it doesn't always mean YOU made an error. Could be your employer reported something differently, a system glitch, or even random selection. The IRS works in mysterious ways lol.

👆 yep, my completely normal return got stuck in ERS last year because my employer put a dash in my SSN on their W-2 (which I didn't even notice). Took 9 weeks to resolve.

Nothing there yet, but that would be a nice surprise!

Another day another app trying to profit off our broken tax system 🙄

Normally I'd agree with you, but after 3 years of tax delays and thousands in refunds held up, I'm past caring. I just want my money and some actual information instead of cryptic codes. This actually helped me figure out when my money was coming and why it was delayed.

I got both confirmations - one from TurboTax that they submitted it and one from the IRS that it was accepted. That's what makes this so strange.

How long did it take you to get through? I tried calling once already and gave up after 45 minutes on hold.

That's why I ended up using Claimyr. I tried calling myself for THREE DAYS with no luck. With Claimyr I was talking to an agent within an hour. Totally worth it to get thousands in refund money unstuck.

Same experience. I wasted days trying to get through. Finally used Claimyr and was literally talking to an IRS agent that same day. They found my return was held up for a simple verification that I could have handled weeks earlier if I'd known.

That's terrifying. I have no reason to think that's my situation, but I guess you never know. Just another reason I need to actually speak to someone at the IRS.

Yeah better to find out sooner than later. I waited too long thinking it would just fix itself. Big mistake!

Just tried it - still says the same thing unfortunately. "Your tax return is still being processed."

how much does it cost tho?

Worth every penny compared to the stress of wondering what's happening with thousands of dollars of my refund. They have different options but even the basic analysis gave me more info than weeks of searching online forums.

The 3 AM transcript refresh crew checking in! Glad I'm not alone in my tax season insanity.

Me too! 😂 I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas except instead of presents it's my own money being returned to me after I lent it to the government interest-free all year 🤦‍♀️

does it actually work tho? saw someone else recommend it and im desperate at this point

100% worked for me. Was skeptical at first but after wasting hours trying to call myself, it was such a relief to finally talk to someone who could tell me exactly what was going on with my return. The IRS agent I spoke with found the issue and cleared it while I was on the call.

Thanks for the tip! Just checked and unfortunately both transcripts are completely blank. No activity whatsoever for 2023.
