Filed through Chime but IRS hasn't received it - Can I file with another company?

Good advice. How long should they wait before taking action? Two weeks? Three?

Appreciate the structured approach here. The e-file acceptance confirmation is particularly critical as it contains the Declaration Control Number (DCN) which confirms IRS receipt. Without that, the transmission may have failed at the intermediary level.

According to IRS Publication 1345 (Rev. 1-2023), "If you don't receive acknowledgment of your electronic submission within 48 hours, contact the IRS e-file Help Desk." I always tell clients to wait 72 hours max before investigating transmission issues.

Thanks for suggesting the transcript check! I always forget about that option and it's saved me from panicking multiple times.

I'm always skeptical about these services that charge you to reach a government agency. Isn't there a free way to contact the IRS? Seems like we shouldn't have to pay just to talk to someone about our taxes.

Thank you! Just tried calling the regular IRS number and got the dreaded "high call volume" message. Need to figure this out ASAP since I'm counting on my refund this month.

Did you have to provide any personal info to this Claimyr service? I checked the WMR on March 15th and again today (April 4th) with no update, so I'm getting worried.

I'm surprised by how complicated this all is. I checked my Chime account and found exactly 3 messages about my tax filing that I completely missed. Thanks for pointing this out!

This is really helpful advice! I'm new to filing taxes and didn't even know about the IRS transcript option. Quick question - when you create an account on irs.gov to check the transcript, do you need any special documents or just basic info like SSN and address? I want to make sure I have everything ready before I try to set it up.

@Paolo Rizzo You ll'need your SSN, filing status, and the exact refund amount from your 2023 return or ($0 if you didn t'get a refund .)They also ask for account numbers from financial accounts to verify your identity.

The whole setup process takes about 10-15 minutes. Just make sure you have your 2023 tax info handy before starting!

@Paolo Rizzo You'll need your SSN, filing status, and the exact refund amount from your most recent tax return (or $0 if you owed money). They also verify your identity using questions about your credit history - things like previous addresses or loan amounts. It can be a bit tricky if you're young and don't have much credit history yet. Make sure you have a recent bank statement handy too, as they sometimes ask about account details. The whole verification process takes about 10-15 minutes, but it's worth it for the detailed info you get!

The identity verification is the trickiest part - they use third-party verification that asks questions about your credit history. If that fails, you can still request transcripts by mail, but it takes 5-10 business days. Given that you need to check your filing status quickly, I d'recommend trying the online route first since it s'instant once you re'verified.

@Paolo Rizzo You'll need your SSN, filing status, and the exact refund amount from your 2023 return (or AGI if you owed money). The system also asks for a phone number associated with your credit report for identity verification. It can be a bit tricky the first time - I had to try twice because I mixed up my 2022 and 2023 refund amounts! But once you're in, you can see exactly what the IRS has on file for you. Way more detailed than that frustrating WMR tool.
