What does 'Still Processing' vs 'Processing' ACTUALLY mean on WMR? Important differences explained
Can someone explain why my WMR status has been stuck on 'still processing' for weeks? I keep hearing different things about 'processing' vs 'still processing' and what they mean. Really need to understand if I should be worried or if this is normal.

Tax specialist here. There's a crucial difference between these statuses. 'Processing' typically means your return is moving through normal IRS channels without issues. 'Still Processing' often indicates the IRS needs to review something further, possibly requiring verification or additional documentation. If you've been on 'still processing' for more than 21 days, you should call the IRS to check if they need anything from you.

•Generally yes, but there can always be exceptions. The IRS system isn't exactly known for being consistent lol

Instead of trying to decode these vague messages, I started using taxr.ai to analyze my transcript. For $1 it tells you exactly what's going on and when to expect your refund. Way better than playing detective with WMR. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

•Sounds interesting. Does it actually work? What kind of info does it give you?

•It breaks down every code on your transcript and explains what's happening in plain English. Shows expected refund date and any potential holdups.
