What does 'Still Processing' status mean on IRS transcript? No movement for weeks
Been checking WMR and my transcripts every day for weeks now. Still says processing and no updates. Filed back in February. Anyone know what this actually means? Starting to get worried something's wrong with my return.

Processing status means the IRS has received your return but hasn't completed their review yet. This could be due to various factors: verification needs, high volume of returns, or additional security checks. The best way to know if there are any specific holds is to carefully review your transcript for transaction codes - these will tell you exactly what's happening.

•Normal processing is 21 days, but lately we're seeing 6-8 weeks being more common. If you pass 8 weeks, might want to call the IRS.

Hey instead of just guessing what's happening, you should try taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and when you'll likely get paid. It costs $1 but saved me weeks of stress and confusion. https://taxr.ai

•Yes! It literally saved my sanity. It looked at my transcript and told me exactly why I was delayed (had a verification hold I didn't know about) and what to do about it

Processing usually means theres nothing wrong, just waiting in line. But check your transcript for any codes that start with 570 or 971
