I filed my tax on 01-20 and was accepted the next day. So on Feb 8th I got that delay message. I thought it was nothing just it would take more time. I contacted the IRS and there was an issue but that issue was fixed actually on the 8-9th. It does take up to 8 weeks for them to approve the refund once the issue has been fixed. I am still on the delay message. Please contact IRS and see what is going on with your refund. 1 (877) 777-4778 Contact that number you will get through.

I filed on 01/27/22. My return was approved and I received my state about three days after filing. Since then I had received the “We apologize your return is delayed” message. It’s now 02/28 and no refund and no change in the message.

I did read where if you filed with a known tax preparer, such as TurboTax, they will contact them and try to correct any mistakes before pushing it into manual review. Is this correct?

NO ... that is not correct. First of all TT is NOT a tax preparer ... it is a DIY income tax program where YOU prepare your own return. And I have been a tax pro for 30 years and the IRS has NEVER contacted me instead of the taxpayer for any reason what so ever.

So frustrating. I've tried twice now to register with ID.me so I can look at my transcript. Both times, after going through the driver's license pic, selfie and all the other BS, they tell me they can't verify my phone numbers. They didn't have any trouble sending me the request for a verification number, but they can't verify my phone? I keep getting emails from them saying "Almost there. Finish verifying your identity." What concerns me is all my personal information and selfie is now out there, but they won't let me register. UGH. Can anybody tell me how I can stop those reminder emails?

@DenverDad Go to the bottom of the email and there should be a highlighted link to unsubscribe from further emails. But just FYI I was able to verify my identity and can’t see my transcripts because they show N/A like I never filed my return smh

Thank you very much. Sorry your frustrations too. With everything I’m hearing in this forum, I’m 99.9% certain that I’ll go to a professional tax preparer from now on. I love TurboTax but dealing with the IRS sucks.

I filed on January 30th. Well beyond my 21 days. Still no refund, and still same stupid message about being delayed from IRS. My topic code is 152, however, when I read that, none of those apply to me whatsoever. And from what I am reading in this discussion, Turbo Tax is not very helpful. If that's true, this may be last I ever use them.

I got the same message but also recieved in mail that my state was taken. It's been taken last 5 years and got 5 more. But always get federal. How do they get there money but I haven't received mine. I take it as a good sign. If there was an issue then state wouldn't of been able to take my money as usual would they? Anyone dealt with this.

This is ridiculous,I feel like I’m the only one who had their return accepted on the 24th of January and still can’t access my transcript. Still N/A with an as of date of 2/21. Anyone else? I see a lot of people that were after mine and they either got their refund or a date at least
