IRS2Go Shows "Refund Received" After 3/17 ID Verification - When Will Head of Household Refund Be Approved?

The message you're seeing is just the standard processing notification. After identity verification, it typically takes 9 weeks for the IRS to complete processing, though many people see movement much sooner. The 'refund received and processing' status is just the first step after verification and doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a date tomorrow. The typical progression is: - Return Received - Return Processing - Refund Approved (this is when you'll see a direct deposit date) - Refund Sent After ID verification, it could be anywhere from a few days to several weeks before you see the 'Refund Approved' message with a deposit date. I've seen people get dates within a week after verification, while others wait 3-4 weeks. Check your tax transcript if you can access it - that will often show movement before WMR updates.

I was so confused by my transcript and all these different codes and cycles - I found this tool called taxr.ai that actually explained everything in normal human language! It showed me exactly where my refund was in the process and when I could expect it. Saved me hours of googling and guessing what was happening with my money. https://taxr.ai

After weeks of getting that same message and not being able to reach anyone at the IRS, I finally got through using claimyr.com and had a real agent call me back. They explained my situation and told me exactly when to expect my refund - way faster than waiting for WMR to update. It was the best money I've ever spent to finally get my questions answered directly from an IRS agent.

I had the same message for THREE WEEKS after verifying my identity. Don't expect anything to happen quickly. The IRS is still working through a massive backlog. Just be patient and keep checking every few days.

Does anyone know if the cycle code matters? Mine has 20231805 which supposedly means it updates on Thursdays? But I swear the WMR changes overnight sometimes. The whole system is so confusing!

Look for code 570 and 971 on your transcript. If you have those after verification, it could mean additional review. If you just see 150 with a future date, you're probably good and just waiting in the queue. My verification took 21 days before approval, then another 5 days for deposit.

the irs is a total joke 🤡 i verified my identity TWO MONTHS AGO and still have that same message. they're holding our money hostage while charging us interest if we owe them. make it make sense!!!!

my status was "received and processing" for 5 days after verification, then it changed to approved with a DDD. then got my deposit 2 days after that. everyone's timeline is different but hopefully yours moves fast!

check ur bank account too, sometimes the money shows up before the WMR updates. happened to me last year, was still showing processing when the money hit my account.

It's crazy how many people have to verify ID this year! Is it just me or is the IRS flagging way more returns than usual? I filed in early February and didn't get my refund until April 8th because of verification delays.

Pro tip: The IRS2Go app updates faster than the website for a lot of people. Worth checking both!

I'm on day 67 after filing and still stuck at "received and processing" after verification. You might wanna settle in for a wait. The IRS is swamped and understaffed and it shows.

heads up - if you claimed any credits like EITC or child tax credit, there's a mandatory holding period even after verification. those get extra scrutiny.

After ID verification last year, it took exactly 2 weeks for my status to change from "received" to "approved." Then the money hit my account 4 days later. Hope this helps give you a realistic timeline!

I used taxr.ai to interpret my transcript when I was in your exact situation last month. It was able to tell me exactly what was happening with my return based on all the codes and dates. Turns out I had a review flag that wasn't obvious but the tool caught it and gave me a realistic timeline. It was right - got my refund exactly when it predicted! https://taxr.ai

FYI - If you got that message right after verification, thats a good sign your verification was successful. If verification failed, youd typically get a different message about further action required.

Check your mail too! Sometimes they send letters even when everything is fine. Mine said "we're still processing your return" but had a specific date when the review would be completed. Sure enough, I got my refund on that exact day.

Anybody else think its nuts that we can land a rover on Mars but the IRS cant tell us when our refund will arrive? 🤣 good luck OP, you're gonna need it

My timeline this year after verification: Day 0: Verified ID online and by phone Day 3: WMR changed to "received and processing" Day 14: No change Day 15: WMR changed to approved with DDD Day 19: Money in my account Hope this helps!
