Yes, if you cannot order it, then it is not done processing. When you can order it, your approval will show with in a day or two. I know some are saying you cannot order your transcript until 3 weeks after approval but the IRS told me that is NOT true. If you can order it, it is done processing.

Awesome, just got mine sent today. Light at the end of this tunnel. IRS has had it hard this year, that snow storm delayed many aspects of its' offices.

In my opinion since their system was down they were not able to enter that info in because it was. So now that it is back up again 2-3 days worth of refunds have been processed so 3 days worth of people are all able to get their return transcript on one day (today). Make sense?

I can't order my return transcript either. My return was accepted on Jan. 23rd. My 21 day waiting period is by the 13th. I can only order an account transcript. My refund still says "processing". I don't understand what the hold-up is.

My return was accepted on 1/19 and then on 1/29 I lost all my bars and it read that generic message "your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available." I called everyday and couldn't get an answer until 2/8 the lady finally told me my return was being held until I verified my Identity. So I called the number I was given and I passed but was then told it could still take 9 weeks for processing. I told them that I couldn't wait 9 weeks because it would cause hardship for me and my family. They then referred me to a tax advocate who has yet to contact me they said it could take up to 7 days for that to happen. I was finally able to order my return transcript yesterday morning but still no updates on WMR. Could this be good news for me or simply mean nothing??? I have been following these post some ppl say whem your able to order the return transcript then you should be receiving your refund soon and others say that it is not true. Help me out here Pretty PLEASE ??

Yes I verified it online but was told it would take 6 weeks to process. I am going to call on Tuesday to see just how long this could actually take. I hope I can speed up the process somehow by calling.
