IRS Refund Timeline with Offset - How Many Extra Days?

Having an offset doesn't necessarily add processing time to your return. The offset process happens after the return is processed. What it does do is reduce or eliminate your refund amount depending on what you owe. Your transcripts not updating after 3 weeks is actually normal - the standard processing time is 21 days minimum.

Hey guys instead of playing detective with transcripts, you should try taxr.ai - its only $1 and it tells you exactly whats happening with your refund and if the offset is actually affecting anything. saved me hours of research https://taxr.ai

took me exactly 31 days with an offset last year. but tbh every situation is diffrent

mine took foreverrrrr but that was bc of verification not the offset. the offset just means they take what u owe before sending the rest

ppl need to stop stressing about offset delays fr fr. Its not the offset thats the problem its if u got other issues with ur return

Fam I feel u. Im in the same boat rn. Week 4 of waiting 🤡
