      Although I’m not at my 21st day yet, I got this message and continue to question the efficiency of our government.

      “We apologize, but your return processing has been delayed beyond the normal timeframe.“

      It’s incredible how unorganized this has become as transparency isn’t key here.

          I currently have 766, 768, & 971. No hold or freeze codes. What does that mean?

            Can anyone shed insight to how you are getting ahold of the IRS? Have tried calling multiple times and I can’t even get through to be on hold.

                    Taxes accepted 1/24. Got delay message early feb and today the bars popped back up with refund approved but my taxes were adjusted due to wrong earned income entered on my taxes. It said I would get my adjusted refund by 3/7, checked transcript and had an 846 code with a refund date of 3/2.

                        I filed mine with turbo tax and was accepted that next day. Every time I log onto the IRS website it says my 2021 tax return has not been processed! There are no transcripts avaliable for 2021. I logged on today and had the message its been delayed beyond normal return. It hasnt been 21 days yet. I also claimed the EIC not sure what to think…

                          Please update us and let us know when you get your refunds and/or updates. I just got the delayed message on WMR today. After my tax preparer filed my taxes I saw that he didn’t include the ACTC I received so I know my return will need to be adjusted.

                                I got this same message yesterday also, however this morning I looked again and have a refund deposit date! I was nervous. I filed January 29th, claiming both EIC and CTC, and a Schedule C. Good luck!

                                  We apologize, but your return processing has been delayed beyond the normal timeframe. You can continue to check back here for the most up to date information regarding your refund. We understand your tax refund is very important and we are working to process your return as quickly as possible. I found Texas before my daughter She fell 2 weeks ago and she just got hers

                                    I’m confused as to why it’s delayed. I have already reviewed one of my states refund. Might I add it was supposed to be direct deposited but received a check. I used Taxact.com I have used H&R Block the last couple years and prior to that filed myself with taxact

                                      How do you get your transcript? Mine says my 2021 is not processed yet but weeks ago when I did mine on Tt they accepted it and the irs website was processing it. The delay message hasn’t changed and when I called they said it was in the error station being looked at but this was days ago.

                                          Hey everyone, mine still says the same thing “ we apologize but your return processing has been delayed beyond the normal timeframe” but I downloaded my transcripts and it said “846 refund issued” it gives me a date for next week. I’m guessing that’s when I’ll get it hopefully. I’ll let y’all know.

                                            If you keep calling irs they will delay your refund longer than it suppose to thats what my tax lady told me and if haven’t been over 21 days or if yu didn’t recieve a letter about error I wouldn’t worry to much …let’s all hope we update in the morning

                                                So if you click the hyper li k it states that the irs is behind and will be issuing the first returns which claim the child earned income credit as of 03/01/2022.

                                                It kinda does. It says it’ll process BY that date.

                                                    I did my taxes 1/26 and this Monday mine was change to the “ We apologize, but your return processing has been delayed beyond the normal timeframe. You can continue to check back here for the most up to date information regarding your refund. We understand your tax refund is very important and we are working to process your return as quickly as possible.” And Ive been calling IRS and they won’t pick the phone. I want to know why and what is going on?

                                                      I’m betting she’s correct. But people with easy returns are getting delayed and it’s crazy. I just hope the ones who need it get it asap!

They should have a more efficient system and adequate staffing for refund season. They are well aware of what madness tax season brings and yet there are people that still haven’t received taxes from last year. It’s a slap in the face honestly having to wait so long for a damn return. What if everyone stopped paying taxes? I gurantee they will be very efficient trying to collect payment.

This message means the return went to the ERROR DEPARTMENT. And if you have no letter and no odd TT then they have corrected the error and it takes up to 8 weeks to get the refund out to you, I am in the same boat. Someone told me it won’t take that long but just stated what the irs told me.

                                                                          • #4512164

They are doing their best to process returns and get refunds out as fast as possible. I’m trying to patient myself. We have to all understand the overall affects of everything our country has been through. Lack of workers doesn’t make it any easier for anyone.

I claim 3 grandkids that live with me and was told I do not qualify for EIC because I make too much money, I entered the money received for Additional Child Tax Credit per notice I received from Dept of treasury, nothing has changed since last year except now I make $12,000 more a year.

In the transcript info it shows 2021 but it has nothing related to my 2021 retur.n. I am so confused.

Received the error message on 2/14 (wasn’t 21 days yet). I am now at day 21 with the error message still there. No changes have been made since last year, single filling with no extra credits. My tax return has never taken longer than 3 weeks in the past. How long after the 21 days with the error message did people start to see their return?

Specifically, it hasn’t even been 21 days yet for most filers, so nobody’s tax return is actually delayed yet. It appears that someone may have been working to program different error messages, and this flagged for users over the first weekend of February. If you’re seeing this message and it hasn’t been 21 days yet, you don’t need to worry.

Filed 1/15 accepted 1/19, delayed message since 2/6 Spoke to irs tax advocate said my return went to error dept and they corrected error on 2/8 and from there is takes up to 8 weeks to receive it. So there it is for me and the delayed message.

                                                                                                                • #4510965

Also to add 2 weeks on top of my 21 days, if I don’t get anything by then to call them back.

She stated he delay message is the error department and it is a simple error for me but if you have the delay message and have not gotten a letter it is good to call and see if you need a tax advocate. Child tax credit and stimulus errors are simple errors and will be adjusted automatically.

For the last 4 days my WMR has been showing me different messages. Not sure why. Claimed W2 W2G CTC EITC. Claimed 2 dependents 2020. This year only can claim one. Could that be it?

I woke up to find the same message, it’s ridicules. When I was filling it did say I got 2,800 from the stimulus but I remember (sort of) actually getting 2,700. Maybe that’s why it popped up?

I was seriously banking on it for vacation in March, as a college student this is a big deal for my monetary situation. Guess I will have to DoorDash and donate plasma frequently in order to save up some money to be able to enjoy myself.

Filed 1/27 and I don’t have PATH but still only 1 bar on WMR, n/a on my 22 transcripts and now this delayed message appeared today (even though it’s only been 19/20 days). Never had any issues in prior years, always get my refund within 18 days or so.

I was told it was an error message and not to pay it any attention because I wasn’t passed my twenty one days. It’s a glitch on their part. So hopefully it doesn’t delay my refund. We will see maybe it will change this week.
