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

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

its probably just the irs being the irs 🤡 nothing ever makes sense with them

Have you tried calling them? Sometimes the phone rep can see stuff that doesnt show up on transcripts

Check your Where's My Refund tool too. Sometimes it shows different info than the transcript

dont worry bestie ur not alone. mine did the exact same thing last week and now its back to normal with a ddd!!

This is actually pretty common during transcript updates! The system temporarily shows "no return filed" while they're processing changes or removing holds. I'd recommend checking again in 24-48 hours - it should update back to showing your return with hopefully good news about your refund status. The fact that the freeze disappeared is actually a positive sign that things are moving forward with your case.
