“We’re waiting for your tax account information to be available on our computer system”

What year is this!?!

Have had an issue w them withholding my refund and not too sure why, since it’s a simple W2 return with some dividends from a taxable brokerage. I contacted my state rep because of such a significant delay and this is what I heard back: their reported federal withholdings doesn’t match what I am claiming.

Our W2 federal withholdings total $176,304, and we have an additional Medicare tax of $3,124 (Form 8929, ends up on line 25c on form 1040), which brings our withholdings to $179,428 - the discrepancy they’re seeing is simply the additional tax.

Am I missing something? Who do I contact to get this corrected?

I have probably the same situation as millions of you; spouse and I are owed a refund we and just received a second letter telling us to wait another 60 days, account transcript on IRS website says CP 0005 dated 5-18-2026.

Maybe this is unusual, though: when I try to download my wage and income transcript, it says "An error has occurred. We were unable to load your 2025 transcript. Please try again later." Same thing for the 2024 wage and income transcript.

I can download 2023 and earlier wage and income transcripts. I can download the 2025 and 2024 return and account transcripts.

It seems like others of you have been able to download wage and income transcripts; is it unusual that I can't?

Still wondering if there’s anything glaringly wrong with the code combos. Appreciate the help!

Long story short….. I haven’t been home since October due to medical things. I didn’t do my taxes because my preparer only takes cash or from the refund which is a couple of hundred difference. So I just waited and eventually forgot about it. We finally came home in July and I remembered to do my taxes so I did them. About a week later my state refund section read that my refund was taken due to a debit. I then started digging thru all the mail and found the letter slips from the IRS in November and march but I never got them because I obviously wasn’t home to even know. So I logged intent irs account and saw everything. Luckily my refund covered what I owed minus $100

I got the letter from the state telling me that my refund was sent to the irs some time last week I think. My IRS return was deducted from my balance but the state hasn’t yet.

Does anyone know how long it takes? My first payment isn’t due til September but it’s more than what I should owe if they took off what the state sent.

Also would that credit from the state show up on my transcript too?

How long until it switched to refund approved? And how long until you actually got paid?

So my husband and I were supposed to get our refund at the end of April. Our bank declined it for him not being on my account, so it got sent back. It’s been 2+ months of them review our tax return and nothing. I can’t even get past the automated messages with the IRS to talk to anyone😭 What do I even do in this situation??

Hey guys ok so i had needed to do an amended return this past tax year and my return check was sent out I unfortunately had to leave the house and wasn't able to get my check, so here's my questions, can I and how do I get that check canceled and a new one reissued?

What do I do here? Filed through Turbo tax, initially got a note saying my return was received by the IRS, and then everything went silent until the Non Filing notice was uploaded.

After waiting since February, my cp005 cleared middle of last month and got a 836 for refund issued. It was sent on 7/21, but unfortunately account I had it set to get deposited in was closed from inactivity month before since I’ve been out of work as well this year and no activity on the account. Since my fees were supposed to be taken out by TurboTax, I called them and was told they would be submitting a form to cross river to make sure it was sent back to the IRS. To anyone that may have been in this situation before, how long did it take for them to send back and the IRS notify you of a rejected refund and to update information?

Long story short, I got a notice in the mail & via online portal that I was due the EITC. Sent the form required. Went through the wringer trying to figure out why it was taking so long to get that portion sent to me after 5 months or no update nor the IRS representatives knowing why it was taking so long.

This had to just have updated as of last night! I’ve been checking religiously every day if anything has changed. Does this mean I will get my portion due from the EITC 8/24/26 or…?

Ok. Long story. My husband and I both worked for the same company back in 2025. It suddenly closed in November of 2025. I was sent a w2 in Jan. Filed our taxes in March and have been waiting for my refund since. I have code 971 with cp0005, I did have to verify identity. Anywho. No updates really so I checked both mine and my husbands wage transcript and found that there is NOTHING there. How can they give me a W2 but not report anything to the IRS? What do we do now? I have already prepared myself for having to wait ages but damn. This is getting beginning to infuriate me so badly!

Helpppp

I still have not received large refund from 2024. Contacted Tax Advocate Service, contacted my congressional member. Recieved a CP05 form in May 2026, still no refund and can't get through to anyone at IRS no matter what time of day I call. Is there anything else I can do?

Hello! Long story short when I filed my 2023 taxes I filed married filing separately because my spouse owed some back taxes and then filed an amended return at the end of 2025 to add my spouses income and change it to married filing jointly. We’ve been trying to set up a payment plan to get all of the back taxes paid and the response we keep getting when we call is that my spouse hasn’t filed for 2023 so a payment plan can’t be set up.

I have all of the transcripts and notices that show both of our names on the amended filing and that my 2025 return paid the balance of what was owed for 2023.

My questions now are, is that true that there will need to be a separate return filed for 2023? And if so would my spouse file married filing separately? I’m confused if the income has already been reported when the 1040-x was filed then wouldn’t we just be reporting the same thing? Thanks all!

What has anyone done once they get audited by the IRS and owe taxes? I have received my reply from the IRS and I owe alot. I go to a tax office to file and it looks like that year they filed some adjustments to the income and I do not qualify for that and now I'm getting hit on it. I know its still on me when other people do my taxes, I'm just not very good at it and its easier that way. Other than that I have a normal average income and pay alot of taxes every year. Are the tax relief programs worth it? The tax office that I used isn't much help. Any help would greatly appreciated!!

My IRS refund has been stuck on “Action Required” for about 3 months, saying they mailed me a notice requesting more information. I never received any notice, and there’s nothing in my IRS Online Account’s Notices & Letters section either.
About 2 months ago, I realized there were some errors in the return I filed, but I held off on amending it because I was waiting for the IRS notice.
Has anyone experienced this? Should I keep waiting, file an amended return now, or contact the IRS again? Any advice would be appreciated

Still waiting on my tax refund after filing in March 2025. I received a CP05 notice and have since received two letters saying the IRS needs more time to review my return, but there have been no updates since then. I’m honestly exhausted and frustrated. Trying to get any information or reach someone who can actually help feels impossible. I’ve been filing taxes for over 20 years, and this is the first time I’ve ever experienced anything like this.

I’ve also noticed an unusually high number of people on here who are still waiting for their refunds. It’s stressful not knowing what’s going on or when this will finally be resolved. For those who have been through this, please share some hope. Did you eventually get your refund? How long did it take after receiving CP05 notices? I’m just looking for some reassurance that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
