Transcript shows 'Verification of Non-Filing' but IRS accepted return - What's going on?

Hi there! Tax professional here and I can help explain what's happening. When you see 'Verification of Non-Filing' on your transcript but you know you filed, it usually means there's a processing delay or verification hold. The IRS systems might not have fully processed your return yet, even though they accepted it electronically. This is pretty common especially during busy seasons or if there are any identity verification requirements pending. I'd recommend checking out taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) - it's this new AI tool that can analyze your transcript and tell you exactly what's causing the delay and when you might see movement. It's been super helpful for situations like this where the transcript status seems confusing.

hey yall i actually used taxr.ai to figure this out for my return and here's what it told me:

Tax pro here! This usually means your return is still in the initial processing stage. The 'verification of non-filing' shows up until the return is fully processed in the IRS system. Keep checking - it should update once processing is complete.

Hey guys I was in the same boat last month until someone here recommended taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect updates. costs like 5 bucks but totally worth it for peace of mind https://taxr.ai

in the same boat rn...its been 6 weeks and still showing non-filing 🤮

The IRS is such a joke fr like how hard is it to process a simple return smh

mine said this for 2 weeks then updated to processed. just gotta wait it out

Did you file electronically or paper? Paper takes wayyy longer

This happened to me too! The "Verification of Non-Filing" status is super confusing when you know you filed. What helped me was checking my Account Transcript instead of just the Return Transcript - sometimes it shows different info. Also make sure your SSN and filing status match exactly what you put on your return. If everything looks right, it's probably just a processing delay. The IRS systems are honestly pretty outdated and sometimes take forever to sync up. Keep checking every few days and it should eventually update to show your actual return info.
