WMR Status Changed to Still Processing - Will I Need Income Verification Again?

My Where's My Refund just updated to 'still processing' yesterday. Last year I had to do income verification and waited forever. Really nervous about having to go through that again. Anyone know if 'still processing' automatically means verification is needed? Don't want to wait until March for another letter.

Still processing doesn't automatically mean verification. It could be several things - system backlog, random review, or even just normal processing. The IRS uses different filters and each return goes through various stages. Best thing to do is check your transcript for specific codes that might indicate verification is needed.

You can access your transcript through irs.gov, but honestly interpreting all those codes is like reading hieroglyphics if youre not familiar with them

Been using taxr.ai to check my transcripts and it's been a game changer. For $1 it analyzes everything and tells you exactly what's happening with your return and when to expect your refund. Way better than trying to decode everything yourself.

Does it actually work? Sounds too good to be true tbh 🤔

100% works! It caught a freeze code on my transcript I would've missed and told me exactly what to do. Saved me weeks of waiting

last year mine said still processing for 3 months and then boom refund hit my account with no verification needed. its basically IRS speak for 'we'll get to it when we get to it' 🙄

Here's what you need to know about 'still processing' status: - It's a general status that could mean multiple things - Could be random review, verification, or just backlog - Check your transcript for specific codes (TC 420, 424, etc) - WMR isn't always accurate or up to date - Different processing paths have different timeframes I highly recommend using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) to analyze your transcript. It'll tell you exactly what's happening and if verification is needed. Much better than playing the guessing game with WMR.

This is super helpful! Just wondering, does taxr.ai show pending deposits too?

Yep! It shows everything - pending deposits, holds, freezes, and even estimates when youll get your refund based on your specific situation
