Filed Jan 25, Accepted Jan 27, but IRS Transcript Shows "No Tax Return Filed" After 6 Weeks

Just checked my transcript again today and nothing has changed since I filed 6 weeks ago. The WMR tool still shows received but not processed. Starting to get worried because I need this refund. Anyone else stuck in limbo like this? When I look at my transcript, it literally says: EXEMPTIONS: 00 FILING STATUS: Head of Household ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: [blank] TAXABLE INCOME: [blank] TAX PER RETURN: [blank] SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: [blank] SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: [blank] TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: [blank] And then at the bottom it says "RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT" and under TRANSACTIONS it shows: CODE | EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION | CYCLE | DATE | AMOUNT And then just "No tax return filed" This is driving me crazy because I definitely filed as Head of Household over 6 weeks ago! I'm starting to panic because I'm counting on this money for some urgent bills. Has anyone else experienced their transcript showing "No tax return filed" even though you definitely submitted your return? How long did it take to resolve? I'm getting really anxious about this situation.

Tax expert here. This is actually pretty common right now. The IRS is experiencing significant delays with 2023 returns. Without seeing your transcript, I cant tell if there are any specific holds, but 6-8 weeks is becoming the new normal for even simple returns.

I'd give it until the 8 week mark before taking any action. Then you might want to call the IRS directly.

You should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. It costs $4.99 but totally worth it for the peace of mind. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

Have you checked for any codes on your transcript? Sometimes there are hidden delays that aren't obvious
