I spoke with IRS…they told me to wait

[Unsure2025]

I called the IRS twice today.

I filed and was accepted on 1/27. My transcript is blank. The IRS website says I haven’t filed. WMR says “still” processing. There are no alerts on WMR and no notices on IRS.gov.

I explained this to both reps. The first rep said regardless of when I filed, with the way the IRS counts the 21 processing days, the earliest the 21 days will be up is tomorrow. She told me to expect an update tomorrow.

I called again and specially asked the second rep if I should be expecting a letter that I need to take action on. She told me if I did not have an alert on WMR and I did not have a notice on IRS.gov there is no action for me to take and I need to wait.

Neither rep took my personal info so this is probably just generic info.

I called the IRS again.

He checked my records. He asked me a few verification questions and then placed me on hold for about 5 mins or so. When he came back he told me that he doesn’t see any notices and acknowledged that my return does seem to be taking longer than usual. He told me to wait another week or two.

@Unsure2025 Same! Everything you’re experiencing I am as well! Note to self… Don’t file early again.

You should update with refund date soon.

[Unsure2025]

I checked again. As of date has changed to Mach 10. That is the only update. No other alerts or notices.

@Unsure2025

My as of date was March 3rd until transcripts fully updated. Your still processing message could be something that fixes itself or it could possibly be a hold and your transcripts will update with a notice or hold code.

@Taxesarealwaysaproblem

Yes, I did. But it went away a few days ago.

Also, I noticed that my as of date seems to change every Friday. It has not changed from March 3 yet.

@Unsure2025

Did you have tax topic 152 when it was first received?

[Unsure2025]

@Taxesarealwaysaproblem

“Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available. For more information about processing delays, please see our Refund Frequently Asked Questions.”

No other codes or alerts that I can see.

@Unsure2025

What still processing message is on your WMR? They have a couple and mean different things.

[Unsure2025]
