I am in the same boat as everyone else return not present on my transcripts, tax topic 152 still processing etc, and this is what I found out as to why. My federal accepted on 02/13, so I won the got thru to a live irs agent lottery couldnt believe how lucky I was, but I confirmed my return is sitting in the error resolution department for manual processing, their were no flags on my return no correspondence sent out or that was going to be sent out, but that it would take up to 10 weeks at the latest before I would receive my refund. So I asked him what the rejection code was on my return..,... he told me it was error code 900, that a large a ton of people are getting the same rejection its new he’s never seen it until this year. But assuming once my return was manually processing that nothing errors out and everything is correct than yes I will get my refund. So i did some research and what I found is that error code 900 is a unpostable return because it cannot be automated processed in their system because their systems were not programmed to handle my tax “COVID” situation. My situation is I used 2019 agi for EIC credits because I made more then vs 2020. Yours may be that you are owed stimulus payments that you didn’t previously receive, or it could be a new tax credit/deduction they didn’t program or your return has to be manually filed because if error etc whichever the reason if you have received no letters from them and it has been over 21 days Call them and find out, get a estimate timeframe of when you will receive it, you can also contact a TAS advocate for assistance to help you expedite your refund, you can tell a irs rep if you can have your return expedited for hardship like your going to get evicted lose utilities or medical assistance that you need that money for etc, thats if of course you can get thru to a live person.
