< Back to IRS

Still no IRS notice after 8 months - shouldn't I know if something's wrong by now?

Filed my taxes back in April and haven't heard anything from the IRS. The WMR tool just shows its still processing. No letters, no updates, nothing. Everyone keeps saying there must be something wrong with my return but wouldn't they have told me by now if there was an issue? Starting to get really worried about this. The tax advocate number just gives me a busy signal everytime I call.

Not necessarily. The IRS is still catching up on their backlog from the pandemic. They could take up to 16 weeks to review returns with certain credits or forms. Even simple issues can take months to process. Keep checking your transcript weekly for any updates or codes that might indicate what's happening.

Yeah unfortunately some 2022 returns are still pending. The IRS is seriously understaffed rn

Hey, instead of just checking WMR constantly, you should try taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and when to expect your refund. It costs $1 but totally worth it for peace of mind. https://taxr.ai

Yes! It literally saved my sanity. It showed me I had a simple math error that was holding things up and exactly what to do about it

Check your mail carefully - sometimes they send letters that look like junk mail. I almost threw mine away!

The IRS is completely broken rn tbh. My grandma filed in March and just got her refund last week. No rhyme or reason to any of it anymore

Have you tried pulling your transcript online? Sometimes there's info there that doesn't show up on WMR
