Good luck everyone, see you next yearGot my 846, 3/9. Transcripts updated 12:30am local. Cycle code 05, accepted 1/20.
Good luck everyone, see you next yearAccepted 1/20.
Eitc/Actc.
05 cycle last 10yrs.
No 846.
Should have an update Fri am.I have been an 05 cycle code as long as I can remember. No updates. No 846. Accepted 1/20. Purgatory.
February 16, 2026 at 10:26 am in reply to: WTF ..FILED/ACCEPTED 2/8 TS SAY NO TAX RETURN FILED #4552820As long as you were accepted, the IRS has received your return. My transcripts took 2 weeks to start filling in. It will say “no return filed” until the IRS looks at it. Don’t bother with WMR tool, it is often delayed. Keep looking for transcripts. Hope this helps.
Accepted 1/20, Pather w/EITC, ACTC. Weekly 0505. Transcripts updated overnight, but still no 846. Processing date 2/23. Does that mean I am waiting another week for 846? Is the processing date somewhat accurate?
You can verify if you are still a 05 weekly by checking your transcripts. In some cases, your cycle code can change. If you are still a 05, your transcripts will update overnight, Thurs pm-Fri am. Your ddd should be on a Wednesday, with standard deposit (no early stuff)
@GypsyRose79
You are looking in the right place. When your 846 posts, it will be with the other codes. The 766/768 are codes related to Path, they have been applied. (Meaning you are eligible for ACTC/EITC). There is a master list on this website somewhere with a description of all the codes.@Texas77
Same here. I am cycle code 05. My transcripts always update Thurs pm-Fri am. My ddd is always the Wednesday after Path lifts. It’s been like this for 10 years.Accepted 1/20, Pather w/EITC, ACTC. Weekly 0505. Transcripts updated overnight (Thurs night-Fri am), and all 4 transcripts are populated for 2025. Codes for Pather only, no 846 yet. As of date moved, and is now 2/23.

I could write a book about this. The control number is on a letter they would have recently mailed you. It’s to verify you. The control number cannot be found anywhere else, not on IDme, not on IRS account page, not on online letters. I had a tax advocate that year, and they would not process my return without the letter. Good luck.
Pather, 05 weekly, accepted 1/20. Scripts updated overnight, but only 2 out of 4. Only zeros are showing. No as of date.
Accepted 1/20 w/EITC, ACTC. No updates yet on transcripts. I’ve been a cycle code 05 weekly on Thursdays for years, so maybe an update soon.
I am a Pather, claiming ACTC & EITC. In the past 10 years, I have been accepted into the test batch twice. I have received a refund just once…, before 2/15. More concerned if the next gov shutdown on 1/30 pauses IRS processing? 😬
If we have another gov shutdown starting 1/30, I believe the IRS pauses processing returns.
@Miami71 Thanks, that is reassuring. I had an amended return once, and it was August until I saw my refund. I was hoping being rejected wouldn’t prompt the same delays.
If I am accepted this early, does that mean test batch?
My return got rejected for incorrect IP pin. I didn’t realize it changed year to year. I have the correct one listed now. Do you think it will delay my refund, due to this?
@Stan
Who’s buying eggs with their refund?🐓*UPDATE* 846

F/A 2/15. Pather. As of 3/10. Cycle 05 weekly. Scripts are 0’s, and no record of return.I have had this experience twice. Once was that my address had changed, and another year I switched banks for DD. They don’t like change, and a tax advocate told me any “change” to your details they will flag. That was my experience, not sure if that’s the case for you. Good luck.
Same same, no update.
F/A 2/15. Pather, cycle 05, weekly. As of 3/10.
Scripts are 0’s, no return filed.
If I’m still a weekly, update Thurs pm-Fri am. Was cycle 0805 last year due to verification letter fun. Year before cycle 0505, but amended. Not sure if I’m daily or weekly nowSame boat.
Filed/accepted 2/15.
Pather, weekly, 05.
Transcripts are zeros, or “no return filed”.
WMR 1 bar, with topic 152.
All normal! It simply means, they haven’t looked at your return yet.
It helps to know your cycle code from last year. Compare with chart on this site for dates.
When your “As Of” date changes, I believe it’s a resequence (put you in next week’s pile), but someone correct me if I’m wrong.
I had a donut today, it helped.Forgot to mention WMR never updated with deposit in bank.
Did this last year.
Received letter and verified 2/26/24.
DD 3/13/24, standard bank, no early deal.
15 days.
I’m a 05 Pather.UPDATE.
No movement.
Pather, accepted 2/15. Cycle code 05.
Transcripts blank, no return filed.
See you next week. I imagine I’m a weekly.Did you receive confirmation that your return was successfully sent?
What tax site/preparer did you use?You can receive your DD, and WMR will never move past 1 bar (happened to me 3yrs in a row).
You cannot receive a DD without transcripts updating.Pather here, filed/accepted 2/15.
Transcripts blank.
Cycle 05 weekly.
Should see movement overnight tonight.I would get a tax advocate immediately. There are instructions on this forum. If the IRS still has an outstanding offset for you, they will garnish. The process of getting a refund AFTER a garnishment is a year. I speak from experience.
My experience with this was last year.
Accepted 1/18/24
IRS account home page stated I needed to verify identity.
No online letters were present.
First letter sent, never received.
Requested 2nd letter, received 2/26/24, verified online, took 5 minutes.
Transcripts updated the following week, still saw msg stating I needed to verify.
DDD 3/13/24
WMR stuck at 1 bar with cash in hand.
Perhaps would have been faster if I had received the first letter.
Good luck.The past 3 years I have received my DD, and WMR was stuck at 1 bar. Watch your bank account instead.
In my experience, it means you have been resequenced. (Tossed in the mix for next week) I don’t know if that is the case for you. I don’t follow WMR, as I have received DD 3 years in a row with WMR stuck at one bar. Watch your paper mail as well, in case they want you to verify identity. That letter will NOT show up on your IRS acct. Watch mail, be calm.
I’ve received my DD 3 years in a row, with WMR stuck at one bar. I would watch my bank account, instead of WMR. Transcripts tell all, if you are able to find a work-around to accessing them. Good luck
I had this last year. Received letter 2/26 (last year), verified 2/26. DDD 3/13. WMR never updated.
⭐FINAL UPDATE
Filed 1/18.
Accepted 1/22.
WMR= “Verify Identity” 1/29.
Letter saga above in topic starter…received 2/26.
Verified online w/letter 2/26.
Transcripts updated this am= 846 on 3/13.
Transcripts were blank or n/a until this am= 3/8
I’m cycle code 20241005.
⭐IMPORTANT! WMR still says “Verify your identity”. My IRS account still says “Verify, your return has not been processed”.
Good luck everyone, see you next year!Checking in: No movement. Verified 2/26 online with letter (which took 3 weeks to arrive). Action Req’d msg still present on WMR. Transcripts are n/a on top, blank on bottom. Recent call, and agent states after you verify it will take 2-3 weeks for system to realize you completed it. Also hearing about major USPS delays across the board, for those who are still waiting.

@momof5-2008
I understand. Have you considered a tax advocate? I used one 2yrs ago. Free, and you qualify due to current hardship. It was a positive experience for me, and I had my return in two weeks from contact (which happened to be Sept that year)! Keep at it!March 3, 2024 at 6:07 am in reply to: Navigating IRS Verification and Letter Receipt: Share Your Experience #4538801Update: Or lack of…
Life story posted below. Verified 2/26 with letter. Transcripts are still blank, and “Action Req’d” prompt still showing.Katie
@momof5-2008
Still no letter for you? You are past the 3 weeks it apparently takes. I called 3x to make SURE they sent it, and had them verify the date. No change of address for you?
Accepted 1/22, verified w/letter, transcripts are n/a lol. What a circus.February 27, 2024 at 9:00 am in reply to: Navigating IRS Verification and Letter Receipt: Share Your Experience #4538376Filed 1/18, Accepted 1/22.
Eitc, Actc, Weekly.
WMR= “Action Req’d, Verify Identity” 1/27.
Not able to verify online without letter.
Several IRS calls followed, with absolutely no clarity.
Taxpayer Protection Program line verified 2x my letter was sent 2/13.
Received 5071C letter 2/26- dated 2/21, sent first class from Austin. I’m in AZ.
Able to verify online with magical control #, and 3 questions followed.I started a thread about my letter issue. In short, accepted 1/22, then WMR showed “Action Req’d, verify identity” on 1/27. Wouldn’t work online despite established ID.me account. I got my 5071C letter today. It was mailed 2/13 from Austin, TX. I live in AZ. You can request to have it resent as well.
UPDATE: Received my 5071c letter today. It was mailed 2/13 from Austin, TX, regular (first class) mail. I’m in AZ.
@Kat. I have had this message before in previous years. I was told by my Tax Advocate it means “They haven’t touched your rerurn yet”. Even though the message hints there may be an error in filing or inputting #’s, it’s simply that they are swamped. I was accepted 1/22 with no movement on transcripts. Good luck!
@Mo. Yikes! They are more or less untouchable as a gov agency, therefore conduct business in questionable ways. Our only recourse as taxpayers are the TA’s.
@maxine. Same here. Bottom two on transcripts say “No return filed”, with as of date 2/12. Top two are n/a. WMR and IRS account msg to identify since 1/27!!!
@Katie. This “letter” talk I believe is just another way for them to stall. I was told I was sent 2 letters, on 1/29 and 2/13. Nothing. I routinely receive international mail that is faster. They aren’t giving me any other options. Might need a T.A. soon.
@Mo. Thank you for all the info. I panicked a bit when you mentioned paper check. I hope it is not the protocol to print paper checks to all the IDV people. I am in the middle of a move. The IRS will not forward my paper check to my new address. It would be either wait for it, or have them cancel/reissue. The last time I got an IRS paper check following an amendment, it was September!
@Maxine. My circumstances are almost identical to yours. My nearest walk-in place is 102miles away, and scheduling after 3/15. Also had letter resent twice. I saw a new thread today. Topic was something to the effect of “IRS won’t even check my return.” He is a pather, and the rep stated not to expect any movement til March! If that is accurate, that tells me they have system issues. It would explain the inconsistencies.
@Kaitlyn Martin. Could you let us know please the outcome…if you successfully verified, or they didn’t put it through? I have called too many times since my verify msg on 1/27. No letters. They will NOT let me verify over the phone. Nearest place is 102 miles. Good luck.
@Jimmie G Do not worry. Once you get your 846, it’s a done deal. My WMR never updates until after cash in hand the last few years. One year it never moved past accepted.
@Travishon. Congrats!!!! That gives us hope that this is just a glitch.
Same same. Msg came up on WMR and IRS account to verify on 1/27. Here we are a month later. I haven’t received the 2 letters they sent. They will NOT let me verify online or phone. Transcripts blank, online notifications blank. Nearest in-person verification place is 102 miles away. Seems like they are stalling. Something isn’t adding up here.
@Priscilla. Thank you for the tip. My transcripts are blank, but perhaps another year I could use this trick.
No letter for me today either. I was told by 3 different agents it was mailed 2/13. On the way.
I have been waiting a month for my letter. They won’t let me do anything.
Same here! I have made 8 documented calls, since 1/27…when the action req’d message appeared. I have heard now 3 letters were sent, dated back to 1/29. I have no letters. Transcripts are blank. No online notices. No local office within 100 miles. I waited a month. Today, they said wait a little more. Clearly, they are making it up as they go. Might need a tax advocate again this year. They are understaffed and mismanaged. And we are at their mercy.
@Refund2024. TY
@Refund2024. Agree. They are not allowing me to complete this action they requested back on 1/27. I deal with other Gov agencies. If they request something from me, I don’t wait a month. It’s unreal that I can’t fix this.
I have had the dang message to verify since 1/27. They say they mailed 2 letters weeks ago, never got them. I have already waited a month. Today they said wait 2 more weeks. For what? They won’tlet me verify without the letter. No local tax office for in-person within 100 miles. So now what? Nothing like the IRS telling me, “Sorry, I don’t know”.
I have had the “Action Req’d-verify” since 1/27. They have mailed 2 letters I haven’t received. Called today and they said wait 2 more weeks for yet another letter??? They said I can’t do anything without a letter. I don’t think they know what is what.
I wonder what planet these mystery letters are being mailed from? My letter was sent 1/29 (never received), and resent 2/13 (haven’t received). When have others received their letters? Last week? Was it standard mail, or certified? I have had the “Action Needed” on my account since 1/27, and they will not let me verify without the letter.
February 17, 2024 at 10:45 am in reply to: WMR says received but sent letter asking for more info… Anyone else?? #4536729NO LETTERS! I’m a Pather, accepted 1/22, Eitc, Actc. WMR accepted til 1/27, then “Action Req’d, verify Identity”. Ironically, verifying thru ID.me doesn’t work, even though I’m established there. Transcripts are blank, no return filed. Agent states letter sent on 1/29. Nothing. I’m getting a tax advocate next week if no movement.
I started a thread as well on this. Moderator asked me to move it to IDV section.
February 10, 2024 at 8:54 am in reply to: 18 yr old female with 3 year old son do I file HOH #4535672Hello! I have a little insight here, and can relate to your situation. Can you file HOH, (I do) the short answer if probably yes. Bigger refund. However, tax law is complicated. You can file and get tax advice for free as a single Mom. Google exactly that. Don’t wing it, get what you deserve. I use FreeTaxUSA. Good luck.
Strange. I wonder if there is an issue with your return. I am a Pather, and had this msg one year. I had an error, and needed an amendment. I would watch your mail for letters. Or maybe it’s a glitch perhaps.
Spoke to IRS accounts management today. They will not look at my account. They state I have to wait 21 days from 1/29, even though I was accepted 1/22. After 21 days, I need to call back. I haven’t received any letters. There are no electronic letters in my IRS account. Transcripts are blank as if I haven’t filed. I have heard of a 9-week wait after this process from forums of previous years. This is not fair when all other gov agencies I deal with will help over the phone.
@Travishon. A system glitch makes more sense than the error I’m getting. Agent stated they mailed a letter, I never got it. I guess I need a control # off it. Now what?
@Starsha. Wow, that’s not fair.
