Refund status

How is it possible for people who filed and was accepted between February 9-12 have had NO movement whatsoever on their transcript-still says N/A, and others file and get accepted on February 15 and already received a refund? Makes 0 sense

Alas, the IRS does not process on a First In First Out basis.  Each return is different, and some take longer than others.  Also be aware that refunds that claimed EIC or ACTC won't be issued until at least March.

I am in the same boat. I know of a few people who filed EIC and they have already gotten their refunds, but they didn't have any movement on the WMR tracker or transcripts..

That’s simply not true-not this year anyway. People with the child tax credit and eitc have already received the refund and well before March
