Filed 2/16: Why Are 2023 Return & Account Transcripts Still N/A While 2019-2022 Show Completely?
Been checking my transcript daily since filing on 2/16 and when I check the Return Transcript and Account Transcript sections on the IRS website, it's still showing N/A for 2023. I can see all my past transcripts from 2019-2022 showing up just fine, including Return Transcripts, Account Transcripts, and Wage & Income Transcripts for those years, but nothing for 2023 yet. I just logged in again and here's exactly what I'm seeing on my screen: Customer File Number: ? You selected: Other We suggest you download: No suggestion Below are the transcripts and years available. Return Transcript: N/A (for 2023) 2021 2020 2019 Record of Account Transcript: N/A (for 2023) 2021 2020 2019 Account Transcript: 2022 2021 2020 2019 Wage & Income Transcript: 2022 2021 2020 2019 I can clearly see all my past years' information is accessible when I click "Show All" for each category, but 2023 is still showing N/A for Return Transcript and Record of Account Transcript. Starting to get worried since I see others getting their refunds who filed after me. I've been accessing through the IRS website and can see the full list of available transcripts, but that N/A for 2023 just won't change to show my current return. The site mentions that Return Transcripts include most line items from your tax return, and the Record of Account combines the tax return and tax account information, but neither one is showing up for 2023. The Wage & Income Transcript says it contains data reported to the IRS such as W-2s that were reported during the year. I can see that for previous years, but I need my 2023 return processed! Anyone know how long this usually takes to update? Even my Record of Account transcripts for previous years (2019-2022) are showing up, but still nothing for this year's filing. This is getting frustrating since I need this for verification purposes and to check the status of my return.

Your transcript availability list shows a complete history from 2019-2022, with all major transcript types (Return, Account, and Wage & Income) accessible for those years. The N/A status for 2023 is a standard system response during initial processing - it simply means your return is still being processed and hasn't been fully integrated into the IRS database yet. Looking at your list, you have access to: - Return Transcripts (2019-2021) - Account Transcripts (2019-2022) - Wage & Income Transcripts (2019-2022) - Record of Account Transcripts (2019-2021) The system typically needs 21 days from acceptance to generate your 2023 transcripts. After that window, continued N/A status could indicate manual review or additional processing time. The presence of your previous years' transcripts confirms your account access is working correctly - it's just a matter of waiting for the current year to process. Consider checking weekly rather than daily, as transcript updates typically occur in weekly cycles. The "Show All" options visible in your transcript list will reveal additional years if available, but won't affect the current year's processing status.

I wouldn't call yet. Wait until you hit the 21 day mark - calling earlier won't speed anything up 👍

Hey guys! Instead of stressing over transcript codes, I've been using taxr.ai to analyze my transcripts. It costs $1 but tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Way better than trying to decode everything yourself. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

Pro tip: check your transcript around 3am-6am EST on Wednesdays and Thursdays. That's when they usually do mass updates.
