How is IRS processing order working? Filed in Feb, still waiting while April filers getting paid
Been waiting since February for my refund and seeing people who filed in April getting theirs already. Getting really frustrated seeing everyone posting about getting their money when I filed way before them. Are they just picking returns randomly or what? Getting tired of checking WMR every morning just to see the same processing message.

Tax processing isn't strictly first-come-first-served. Different factors like verification needs, credits claimed, and processing paths affect timeline. Some returns are straightforward and process quickly, while others need additional review. Common delays include identity verification, income verification, or claimed credits like EITC/CTC requiring extra scrutiny.

Exactly. Credits often trigger additional review processes. It's frustrating but necessary for compliance.

Hey guys if your really trying to figure out whats going on with your refund, check out taxr.ai - its only $1 and it analyzes your transcript way better than trying to piece things together yourself. saved me tons of headache fr fr

yeah its legit! you upload your transcript and it breaks everything down, shows exactly where your refund is stuck and when you might get it. way better than guessing 💯

pro tip: check your transcript instead of WMR. WMR is always behind
