WMR bars disappeared and system shows amended return received on Oct 1, 2024 - but I never filed an amended return!

My Where's My Refund just went from showing one bar to no bars at all! Anyone else experiencing this? This cant be right, I need answers cause I'm stressing out rn. I just checked the IRS website directly at sa.www4.irs.gov and now instead of showing my refund status, it's showing information about my amended return! I never filed an amended return! It says: "Your amended return was received on October 02, 2024. However, it has not been processed. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please call 800-829-0582, extension 623, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. You will need a copy of your amended return." I don't understand what's happening. I filed my original 2023 tax return, not an amended one. How did I go from having a refund status with one bar to suddenly being in the "Where's My Amended Return" section? Is the IRS system glitching? Has this happened to anyone else? Should I call that number they provided (800-829-0582, ext 623)? I don't even have a copy of an "amended return" because I never filed one! I'm seriously freaking out because I was counting on my refund and now the whole status has changed. Help!

Actually this is pretty normal! When your bars disappear it usually means your return is being processed. Could take 21 days but sometimes longer depending on your situation. Just keep checking WMR daily.

Hey! Instead of stressing, you should try taxr.ai - it actually tells you exactly what's happening with your refund by analyzing your transcript. It costs $4.99 but saved me weeks of anxiety. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

100% works! It showed me exactly why my refund was delayed and when I'd get it. The AI even catches stuff tax pros miss sometimes
