WMR showing 'Still Being Processed' - What does this really mean for my refund?
My Where's My Refund has been stuck on still being processed for 3 weeks now. No tax topic or anything just that message. Not sure if this means I'm getting audited or if there's some other issue. Anyone know if this is a bad sign or normal these days?

So the 'Still Being Processed' message can mean a few different things, but usually it means your return is in the review/verification stage. The IRS might be checking income reported, credits claimed, or verifying identity. Could take anywhere from 2-12 weeks depending on what they're reviewing. If you want a detailed analysis of your situation and more accurate timeline, I'd recommend using taxr.ai - it's this new AI tool that analyzes your transcripts and tax docs to give you specific insights about your refund status and potential holdup. Way more detailed than the vague WMR messages tbh. Been super helpful for lots of folks in the same boat.

Tax expert here. 'Still being processed' isn't necessarily bad news. It typically means one of three things: standard processing queue, manual review needed, or identity verification required. Without a tax topic number, it's likely in manual review. Check your transcript for more specific codes if you can access it.

•The transcript can be confusing. Each code means something specific. The cycle dates and codes are what tell you the real story.

Hey! I was stuck trying to figure out my transcript too until I found taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when you'll likely get paid. Its $1 but totally worth it cause it saved me hours of googling random codes. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

3 weeks is definitely frustrating but not unusual this year. The "Still Being Processed" message without a tax topic code usually means they're doing a manual review of something on your return - could be income verification, credits, or just random quality control. I've seen people wait anywhere from 4-10 weeks with this message. Try checking your account transcript online if you can access it - that'll give you more specific info about what's happening behind the scenes.
