IRS Transcript Shows No Tax Filed & Unprocessed - Refund Delayed. Help!

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Filed electronically months ago and still nothing. Have you tried calling the IRS? It's a nightmare to get through, but it might be worth a shot.

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c

Have you checked if there were any errors on your return? Sometimes even small mistakes can cause delays. Double-check all your info and make sure everything matches your W-2s and other forms.

The IRS is so backed up rn its not even funny. I filed in February and just got my refund last week. Patience is key, but also don't be afraid to advocate for yourself if it's been an unreasonable amount of time.

OK, let me break this down for you: 1. First, double-check that your return was actually transmitted if you filed electronically. Sometimes there can be glitches. 2. If it's been more than 21 days since you e-filed (or 6 weeks for paper filing), you should definitely contact the IRS. 3. Use the 'Where's My Refund' tool on the IRS website. It updates daily and can give you more info. 4. If you can't get through on the phone, try contacting the Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can help if you're experiencing financial hardship due to the delay. 5. Make sure you keep all your tax documents and proof of filing in case you need to provide additional information. 6. Sometimes, delays happen if there's suspected identity theft or fraud. If that's the case, you'll need to go through additional verification steps. Hang in there! The system is overwhelmed, but persistence usually pays off.

lmao welcome to the club 🎉 we've got t-shirts and everything. "I filed my taxes and all I got was this lousy delay" 🤣

Have you considered checking if you're eligible for the Taxpayer Advocate Service? They can sometimes help if you're facing financial hardship due to refund delays.

Plot twist: the IRS is actually a front for the world's largest EDM festival. All that hold music? Just them testing their sick beats. 🎧🕺💃

Serious question: has anyone had luck contacting their local congressperson about IRS issues? I've heard they can sometimes help push things along.
