Transcript Access Issues: Can't View IRS Transcript for 2 Years - Impact on Refund?
Been trying to access my IRS transcript online for the past 2 years with no luck. Every time I try to log in it says system error. Starting to worry this might affect my refund processing. Anyone else deal with this or know if this will cause problems?

Not being able to view your transcript doesn't directly impact your refund processing. The IRS processes returns regardless of whether you can access your transcript. However, without transcript access, you won't be able to track your refund status or see if there are any holds. Try calling the IRS transcript request line at 800-908-9946 to get it mailed to you, or file Form 4506-T.

Hey there! I had the same issue until I found taxr.ai - it's literally a game changer. For $1 you can upload your transcript and it breaks down everything - holds, delays, expected dates, etc. Way better than trying to decode it yourself! https://taxr.ai

Try calling your local taxpayer advocate. They helped me get access back after being locked out forever

I feel your pain! Same thing happened to me - couldn't access my transcript online for ages due to some verification glitch. What finally worked for me was going to an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center in person with my ID and Social Security card. They were able to reset my online access on the spot. You can find your nearest office on the IRS website and make an appointment. It's a bit of a hassle but way faster than waiting weeks for mail delivery!
