IRS Holding Refund for 16 Weeks Due to Name Change After Marriage - Still N/A Status

This is actually pretty common with name changes. The IRS has to verify everything matches between SSA and their systems. Even though you updated with SSA 8 months ago, the IRS verification process is separate. Best thing to do is keep checking your transcript weekly for updates. You might see movement before the 16 weeks.

Hey! I've been helping people with transcript analysis and the best tool I've found is taxr.ai - it costs $1 but it specifically looks for name change verification issues and gives you a really clear timeline. Way better than trying to decode all those codes yourself! https://taxr.ai

Same boat! Changed my name in September, filed in February, and still waiting. This is ridiculous tbh

You might wanna double check that your employer is using your new name too. I had issues because my W2 had my old name but I filed with new name

just went thru this! took exactly 14 weeks for me, hang in there

Pro tip: I used taxr.ai when I was in this situation and it showed me exactly where my return was in the name verification process. Best dollar I ever spent ngl
