Pending acceptance since 1/24/25

These automated responses are ridiculous. No one knows what’s going on. My return has been pending since 1/24/25, and not a soul can tell me why. I just spoke with an agent at the IRS and he told me that this is not an issue on their end. My return wasn’t received by the IRS because TT hasn’t sent it. It’s still in a pending status with a note that reads “refund will be sent to tax agency at the appropriate time”. I’ve talked to more than 30 reps from TT and still don’t have an answer as to why I’m pending. This morning I spoke with a manager and I still don’t have an answer. She told me that there was a ticket placed to open an investigation about this. She then came back and told me the ticket was closed and she doesn’t know why. Shortly after that, I was placed on hold and hung up on. The only thing I did different this year was claim the credit for a clean vehicle (EV Credit). When speaking with the IRS rep, they looked and said the forms were available so there should be no delay with receiving an acceptance or rejection from them. The rep said “the return just hasn’t been sent to us”. I’ve been filing with TT for 12 years and never had this issue, this will definitely be my last time using this service.

If filing with the EV credit, there are several reason why the return could be rejecting.  

 

The rejections happen due to the IRS business rules when either:

  • VIN is incorrect (Rejection code F8936-030-01)
  • Your tax ID and VIN do not match in the IRS database (Rejection code F8936-046)
  • The credit type claimed and the amount entered on the Schedule A of Form 8936 is not matching the IRS database (Rejection code F8936-0047)
  • The purchase date is inconsistent with the IRS database (Rejection code F8936-048).

Please follow these steps:

  1. Check the report that you received from the dealer and make sure it is correct and matches what you have entered on your tax return. Dealers who sell vehicles eligible for a used (previously owned) vehicle credit under IRC 25E must f...
  2. Contact the dealer and make sure that they provided the correct information to the IRS and/or that they did provide the sale information to the IRS.
  3. If number 1 and 2 are true and the IRS still rejects your tax return, you will have to print and mail the return, including substantiating documentation for the claim of the credit.
