Filed 2/4, Verified In Person 2/26 - As Of Date Keeps Changing But No Return Showing

The 'as of' date is actually a processing marker in the IRS system that indicates when your account information was last updated or when it's scheduled to be updated next. Have you verified which transcript you're checking? There are several different types: Account Transcript, Return Transcript, Record of Account, and Wage & Income Transcript. For current year processing, you want to check the Account Transcript specifically. What filing status did you use, and did you claim any refundable credits like EITC or CTC?

This happened to me last year and it drove me CRAZY. My 'as of' date changed 4 times while showing no return filed. I was comparing it to my previous years when everything processed within 2 weeks. After about 6 weeks of this date-change game, my transcript suddenly updated with everything at once and my refund appeared 5 days later. It seems way worse than previous years but at least you've already done the ID verification which was what held mine up.

Ur in the IRS processing loop hell rn. Happens to tons of ppl, esp after ID verify. The system is SLOW AF this yr! I was stuck for 51 days w/ changing dates b4 any movement. If u need answers fast, try Claimyr.com to get thru to an IRS agent (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) - they'll connect u directly instead of waiting on hold 4ever. I got thru in 20 mins when the wait was 2+ hrs. Agent confirmed my return was just in a processing queue, nothing wrong. Worth it if ur anxious abt the delay!

Don't worry too much about the changing 'as of' dates. This is normal system behavior, especially after an ID verification. Your return is in the system but likely in a post-verification processing queue. Try checking your account on the IRS website rather than just the transcript - sometimes the account shows different information. Also, make sure you're looking at 2023 tax year information (for returns filed in 2024), not 2024 tax year which would show as empty.

I had this exact issue last tax season. Filed on January 28th, 2023, verified identity on February 15th, and then my 'as of' date kept changing weekly (2/20, 2/27, 3/6, 3/13, etc.). My transcript showed nothing until March 31st, when everything suddenly appeared at once. The IRS is seriously backed up this year - I spoke with a representative on April 2nd who said they're prioritizing returns with refundable credits and pushing others to later processing batches.

Have you checked your Return Transcript specifically? Sometimes the Account Transcript shows no activity while the Return Transcript shows the return has been received. Also, did you receive a CP01 Notice after your identity verification? That would confirm the IRS processed your verification. Your IDRS status code might be stuck in '570' hold which happens frequently after ID verification.

The 'as of' date changing without other updates might possibly indicate your return is in the Error Resolution System (ERS) queue. This doesn't necessarily mean you made an error - it could be something as simple as a mismatch between information reported to the IRS by employers and what's on your return. I would suggest waiting at least until after your next 'as of' date (3/25) before taking any action, as contacting them before then might not yield any new information.

Back in 2021, I had the same issue with changing 'as of' dates. What I learned is that this indicates your return is actively being worked on in batches. The IRS processes returns in weekly cycles, and the 'as of' date is when your account is scheduled for the next processing cycle. If you verified in person on 2/26, you're about 4 weeks into what can be a 6-9 week process post-verification. I'd expect to see movement by mid-April based on current processing patterns.

I'm going through the exact same situation right now! Filed on 2/8, verified identity in person on 2/28, and my 'as of' date has changed from 3/4 to 3/11 to 3/18 and now shows 4/1. My transcript still shows absolutely nothing for 2023. It's so frustrating because the IRS2Go app just keeps saying "still processing" with no real timeline. I've been checking daily and it's honestly making me more anxious. Has anyone here actually gotten through to speak with an IRS representative about this specific issue? I'm wondering if calling would even help or if they'd just tell me to wait longer.
