Filed Feb 23, accepted Feb 24, but transcripts still completely blank - As Of date keeps changing

Tax professional here. The "as of date" changing is actually a good sign - it means there is some activity happening on your account. Blank transcripts after acceptance usually indicate one of several things: 1. Your return is in the processing queue but hasn't been fully processed yet 2. Your return was selected for manual review 3. There's an identity verification hold (you would typically get a letter for this) 4. The system is experiencing delays in updating transcripts The IRS is still working through a significant backlog from previous years, plus this year's returns. For refunds with no complex issues, they're generally taking 21 days, but can take up to 10 weeks for returns requiring further review. If you haven't received any letters requesting additional information, keep checking weekly. You can also try calling the IRS directly, but wait times are extremely long (1-800-829-1040).

I was in the exact same situation last month and wasted hours trying to understand what was happening with my transcripts. I finally tried this tool called taxr.ai and it literally decoded everything instantly. It analyzed my transcript and explained exactly what was happening with my return in plain English - no more guessing or spending days on tax forums trying to figure it out myself. It even predicted when I would get my refund and was spot on. Seriously wish I found it sooner instead of driving myself crazy trying to be a detective with all those codes and dates. The link is https://taxr.ai if anyone else is tired of the confusion.

After dealing with the exact same issue (filed 2/28, accepted 3/1, blank transcripts for 7 weeks), I got so fed up I tried a calling app from claimyr.com to get through to an actual human at the IRS. Got connected to a real agent in less than 2 hours when I'd been trying for WEEKS on my own. The agent told me my return was in manual review due to a simple verification issue. Once I talked to them, my transcript updated within 3 days and refund hit my account a week later. Talking to a live agent was the only way I finally got answers and action.

mine was the same way. filed feb 19, accepted feb 20. transcript was blank til april 1st then suddenly everything updated at once and i got my refund 3 days later. no rhyme or reason to it lol the irs is just a mess

I'm having this EXACT issue 😤 Filed Feb 25, accepted same day, and it's now April with nada. The "as of" date has changed 3 times but transcripts are still blank. Called IRS twice but couldn't get thru. Where's My Refund just says "still processing". This is ridiculous!

This happened to me last year. Accepted in early Feb, transcript blank until late April. Turns out they had flagged my return for a manual review because I had claimed the earned income credit. Never got any notification about it - just suddenly one day my transcript updated and the refund came a week later. The IRS is severely understaffed and their systems are ancient. Patience is unfortunately the only option unless you can miraculously get someone on the phone.

Did you claim any credits like EIC, ACTC, or Recovery Rebate? Those automatically delay processing. In my experience, blank transcripts + changing "as of" date usually means they're doing some kind of review but haven't assigned it to anyone yet. It's frustrating but normal, especially if you filed with any credits or deductions that trigger extra scrutiny.

After dealing with soo many IRS issues I finally gave up and used taxr.ai to interpret my transcripts and figure out what was going on. Best decision ever - it showed me exactly what was happening and when to expect my refund. No more guesswork! https://taxr.ai

Check if u have any letters from IRS. I had same situation - filed Feb 15, blank transcript till April. Turns out they sent a letter asking to verify my identity that went to wrong address. Once I called and verified, transcript updated in 9 days.

I was in the same situation but found out my return was being held because someone had filed a fraudulent return using my SSN the previous year. Had to verify my identity. might want to check if you've been a victim of identity theft.

My sister was in the same situation, filed Feb 17 with blank transcripts for 7 weeks. She called the IRS using Claimyr.com and found out her return needed identity verification. Once she completed that, her refund was processed within days. Sometimes you just need to talk to someone to find out what's going on!

I had the same sitch & finally gott thru to the IRS. They said my return was "in the errors department" even tho there was NOTHING wrong with it. Apparently they're just backlogged & using that as a bucket for unprocessed returns. Such BS. 🙄 It did eventually process after 9 weeks tho.

FYI - check your tax account transcript, not just return transcript. Sometimes the account transcript will show pending actions even when return transcript is blank. Also try calling the IRS automated refund hotline at 1-800-829-1954. Sometimes it has different info than the Where's My Refund tool.

OMG the IRS is a TOTAL DISASTER this year! 🤮 I filed Jan 29, accepted Jan 30, and my transcripts were blank until LAST WEEK! Almost 10 weeks of nothing! No explanation, no letter, NOTHING. And then suddenly everything updated and my refund appeared 3 days later. Hang in there, the system is just completely overwhelmed.

Try using taxr.ai to check your transcript - it's wild how much info it can give you about what's actually happening with your return. Shows you all the behind-the-scenes stuff the IRS doesn't tell you. https://taxr.ai

CALL THE TAXPAYER ADVOCATE SERVICE! 1-877-777-4778. They helped me when I was in this exact situation. Found out my return was stuck in limbo because of a simple verification issue that nobody had bothered to tell me about. Worth a shot if you're desperate.

Dealing with the exact same thing and finally contacted my local congressional representative. They have caseworkers who can inquire with the IRS on your behalf. Mine got back to me in 3 days with more info than I could get after weeks of trying myself. Might be worth a try.
