Name Change After Divorce: Transcript Shows Zeros & Old Name - Anyone Else?

IRS processing delays are common with name changes. You need to ensure your name change is registered with Social Security Administration first - that's what IRS uses to verify. If you haven't done that yet, file Form SS-5 with SSA immediately. The zeros usually indicate a processing reset, pretty normal this time of year.

name changes are the worst with irs lol. took me 3 months last year but i got it eventually

The zeros usually mean theyre about to update something big. hang in there!
