Anyone else receive a email from Irs within the last weeks? I signed up for email/letter notifications on my irs account. I checked my account but no updates.

It is very common for the IRS online portal to lag behind automated email alerts, often taking 48 to 72 hours for a new notice to actually appear in your "Messages" or "Notices" tab. Many taxpayers are currently receiving these "status update" emails due to internal system refreshes or new 2026 requirements under Executive Order 14247, which mandates a transition to electronic refunds. If you still see no updates after a few days, check your "Tax Records" tab to see if your 2025 transcript has populated, as this can trigger a notification before a formal letter is generated. Always ensure you navigate directly to IRS.gov yourself rather than clicking links in an email, as February is peak season for scam emails.

No letters or notifications on my irs portal. My transcripts finally populated on 2/19/26  for 2025 but no info or codes. Just shows $0.00. That probably triggered the email. From my research lots of people got this email and a week later or so god a ddd. Hope for the a 846 code here soon. Thanks flr the reply.
