So I filed end of January, Federal Return accepted January 31st.
21 Days passed on February 21st which was a Friday (where's my refund tool switched to we are still processing....I've read all over the still means something is up). I got the mail February 24th and saw a letter asking to verify identity. I immediately went in the house, hopped on the computer and verified right away.
So from a couple days after that, February 26th or so, until now (still) I've had "we are processing your return" without the word still in it.
Tax Transcripts show 570 code, but nothing else regarding an issue or a letter or anything. This whole time since Identity Verification that's all that has shown. My wage transcripts are not showing yet and haven't been this whole time while the other 3 transcripts are in there.
I haven't called anyone at the IRS or Tax Advocate because during the Pandemic, it's just wasting my time. So I'm trying to be patient. The as of date keeps getting pushed back if that means anything. Was last pushed back to May 18th which is in 3 days. I expect next Thursday or Friday (I'm a weekly) to see it pushed back another couple weeks.
I THINK it's just simply due to the virus, stimulus checks, short staffed, etc. That it just hasn't gotten back around to being finished processing. My taxes are simple. I don't own anything. It's basically just wages.
I just wanted to post this in case others are in the exact same boat. It made me feel better to see I'm not the only one in very similar situation.
