🤔IMPORTANT TAX ANNOUNCEMENTS
Greetings 👋 A few announcements🚨🚨🚨
If the Government shuts down this weekend, as long as your Tax Refund has no errors and doesnt get kicked from the system. There will be no delay in your refund. If your return needs to be fixed, put back into processing, or selected for a review or audit, then there will be a delay.
Taxpayers that have already filed, your transcripts SHOULD be available for you to see on your IRS account. If there is a star next to your Account Transcripts, then the IRS has not started to process your return. If the transcript doesnt pull up but says "No return has been filed" and its blank with no codes....DO NOT START PANICKING YET!! There is absolutely NO reason to call the IRS. Although most of the time, this means you will need to ID verify, A lot of people end up updating right from this with no issues.
If you get your taxes filed by a tax professional, reach out to them instead of calling the IRS, 95% of the time the IRS customer service reps tell you anything just to get you off the phone.
Some taxpayers are getting a DDD of 2/16. This is more than likely a glitch. As soon as I find out for a fact, Ill update you guys.
TRANSCRIPTS & WMR
✳️First & foremost, WMR is NOT 100% reliable. WMR can NOT update until Transcripts update the day before.
If you have access to your transcripts, this is where you should be checking once a week depending on your cycle code.✳️
🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢
✳️️Taxpayers on PATH (Taxpayers with EIC &/or ACTC on their return)✳️
✅️You should ONLY be checking your transcripts once a week on the day of your cycle.
Absolutely nothing can change or update on any other day.
✅️As long as you have all the codes = to your return (ie, 150, 806, 766, 768, etc) you are 99% fully processed and just waiting for an 846 code with your DDD next to it.
✅️If your transcript is blank and says "no tax return filed" (This means a return for this social HAS been received)
It's one of 4 different things;
🔴 Return just hasnt starting processing
🔴You have been randomly selected for ID verification
🔴You have been resequenced
🔴You filed with an Injured Spouse Formp
**If it doesn't update 2 weeks AFTER Feb 15th, then you have to ID verify.
✅️If you see a star next to ACCOUNT TRANSCRIPTS and a letter pops up like below, this means the IRS has NOT received your tax return yet. Reach out to where you filed.
🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠
✳️If you are NOT a PATH filer (Might have claimed Children but you DO NOT have EIC &/or ACTC on your return)
Every above applies EXCEPT you do not need to wait until after Feb 15th, you can update with a DDD any time your cycle code updates.
🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵
✳️The purple (last 2 numbers of your cycle code) is your cycle.
(01, 02, 03, 04 are all daily codes)
(05 is a weekly code and ONLY updates once a week)
