Refund freeze disappeared but transcript now shows 'No Return Filed' - What's happening?

My transcript was showing a refund freeze for weeks. Today I checked and the freeze is gone, but now it says no tax return filed. Anyone else experienced this? Really confused about what this means for my refund.

This usually happens during transcript updates. The IRS system sometimes shows 'no return filed' temporarily while they're processing changes or removing holds. Give it about 48-72 hours for the system to fully update. If nothing changes by then, you might want to call the IRS to confirm everything is okay.

Hey guys, instead of playing detective with these transcript codes, I've been using taxr.ai and it's been a game changer. It costs like a buck but it tells you exactly what's happening with your refund and when to expect it. Way better than trying to decode these weird transcript messages https://taxr.ai
