WMR Stuck on 'Still Being Processed' Since March 15th - Head of Household Filing

Oh my gosh, I'm literally going through the EXACT same thing right now! Filed March 10th and STILL waiting with that stupid message. I'm about to lose my mind because I need that money for my kid's summer camp deposit by May 1st! 😫 In my experience from last year, a blank refund field usually means they're recalculating something. Have you checked your transcript? That sometimes updates before WMR does. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for both of us!

Anyone else feel like the IRS deliberately makes this process as confusing as possible? 😂 I've been stuck on that same message since February 28th and I'm slightly freaking out. Do you have any credits like EIC or Child Tax Credit? Those can trigger extra review time. Also, did you get an acceptance confirmation after filing? Sometimes there's a difference between "accepted" and "processing" that matters.

I've been through this exact situation before. Here's what you need to do: Step 1: Check your tax transcript instead of WMR. Go to irs.gov, create an account if you don't have one, and request your 2023 Account Transcript. Step 2: Look for transaction codes. Code 150 means your return was processed. Codes 570/971 indicate a hold or notice being sent. Step 3: If you see code 846, that's your refund date. Step 4: If it's been more than 21 days and you don't see any movement, that's when you should consider calling. The blank refund amount typically happens when they're verifying your Head of Household status or recalculating credits. I had this happen on March 3rd last year and it resolved by March 29th.

I was in exactly the same situation last year when I filed on February 22nd, 2023. The blank refund field drove me crazy because I needed that money for a security deposit due on April 1st. After trying the regular IRS number for THREE days (calling at exactly 7:00am on March 15th, 16th, and 17th), I finally used Claimyr to get through. Got connected to an agent in 22 minutes instead of waiting on hold for hours. The agent confirmed my return was flagged for a simple Head of Household verification and gave me a timeframe. Worth every penny since I was able to make arrangements with my landlord based on actual information. https://claimyr.com

I'm somewhat skeptical about using third-party services to contact the IRS. According to Internal Revenue Manual section 21.1.3.3, taxpayers can request to speak with a supervisor if their issue isn't being resolved. The blank refund field is actually documented in IRM 21.4.1.3(7) as a normal occurrence during certain verification processes. Per the Taxpayer First Act of 2019, you're entitled to an explanation of any delay beyond 21 days. I'd recommend persistence with the official channels before spending money on services that essentially just automate the dialing process.

Those official channels aren't working. I tried for days. Couldn't get through. Claimyr worked for me. Got an agent in 18 minutes. Solved my issue immediately. Worth it. Not everyone has hours to waste on hold. Some of us need answers quickly. It's just a dialing service. They don't access your tax info. Just connects you faster.

Have you tried checking your tax transcript instead? I was in a similar situation last month and discovered my transcript had updated even though WMR hadn't changed. I logged into the IRS website on March 28th, downloaded my account transcript, and found out they had adjusted my refund amount slightly and were processing it. Three days later, the money appeared in my account! The transcript showed codes that explained exactly what was happening, while WMR was still stuck on that generic message.

The blank refund field combined with the Head of Household status often indicates they're verifying your eligibility for that filing status. I went through this last year when I filed on April 2nd. It's a very common verification process, especially if this is your first time using that filing status. The good news is that once they complete verification, things move quickly. In my case, it took exactly 35 days from filing to refund, and the WMR tool updated only 48 hours before the deposit hit my account.
