Filed 2/12 - Nothing on Transcript & WMR Changed to 'Still Processing'

This is actually pretty normal for this time of year. The IRS is dealing with millions of returns and their systems don't always update in real time. The "Still Processing" message is actually a good sign - it means your return is in the system and moving through their workflow. Nothing on transcript is common until they complete initial processing. As long as you received the acceptance confirmation from your tax software (not just the submission confirmation), you should be fine.

Thanks for responding! Yeah I got the acceptance email from TurboTax right after filing. Just getting nervous because my friend filed a week after me and already got her refund last Friday. Do you know how much longer it might take?

I was in the exact same boat last year. Filed mid-February, nothing on transcript for weeks while my husband's coworker who filed after us got his refund in 10 days. So frustrating! I discovered https://taxr.ai which helped me understand what was happening with my transcript once it finally appeared. It explained all those weird codes and actually predicted my refund date accurately. Might be worth checking out once your transcript updates.

The IRS is experiencing significant delays this year, especially for returns filed in February. I've seen processing times ranging from 21 days to 8+ weeks. A few factors that could be affecting you: 1. If you claimed certain credits (EITC, CTC) 2. Your return was randomly selected for additional review 3. System backlog from the high volume filing period If it's been more than 6 weeks, you might want to call the IRS directly to confirm everything is on track.

I went through this exact nightmare last year. Waited 7 weeks with no transcript updates. Finally tried calling the IRS but kept getting the "high call volume" message and disconnects. Found Claimyr.com and it got me through to an actual human at the IRS in about 15 minutes. The agent confirmed my return was just in normal processing with no issues. Cost me $25 but saved me days of redial hell. Worth it for the peace of mind: https://claimyr.com

Check if you have access to your Account Transcript as well as your Return Transcript. Sometimes the Account Transcript will show activity even when the Return Transcript says N/A. Also, try checking your transcript after midnight on Friday - that's when the IRS typically does their weekly updates.
