I'm having the exact same issue! Filed Feb 20, got my NY state refund March 8, but federal still says processing. Can't see my transcript either. Starting to get worried since I have bills due soon. Let me know if you get any updates!
I actually just went through this with my SO's taxes. Turns out TurboTax had a system glitch where returns showed as "accepted" on their end but never actually transmitted to the IRS. We had to re-file completely. Check with TurboTax and specifically ask if there were any transmission issues around the time you filed.
Wait wait wait I'm confused. You're saying you filed your 2023 taxes in December 2024? You do realize that was way after the deadline right?
Pro tip: NEVER do the "get refund 5 days early" with TurboTax or any other tax service. They use a third party bank that sometimes causes issues. Always just do normal direct deposit straight from IRS to your bank.
I was in the same boat. Filed early March, nothing for weeks. I finally broke down and used taxr.ai to figure out what was going on with my transcript. Turns out there was a small math error that was holding everything up. The tool explained exactly what was happening and predicted I'd get my refund on May 12th - got it May 14th, pretty darn close! Saved me from going insane checking WMR every day.
Honestly after spending 9 weeks stressed out of my mind checking WMR daily and trying to decipher my transcript, it was worth every penny. The peace of mind alone knowing exactly what was happening instead of being in the dark was priceless.
Be careful, could be identity verification. I had to wait 9 weeks then got a letter saying I needed to verify my identity before they'd continue processing. Super annoying. Keep an eye on your mail.
Yes they'll send a letter, but it could take 2 months to arrive π If you call them they can tell you immediately if that's the holdup. I finally got through using claimyr.com after wasting hours on hold myself.

Ask both preparers to walk you through their calculations. One of them is either missing something major or deliberately inflating your refund. The tax code is complex but not THAT subjective. Sounds like the second preparer might be claiming credits or deductions you don't actually qualify for, which could lead to an audit.

omg i had the literally same issue last year!!! first place said i owed $1800 and second place said i was getting back $4700. turns out first place forgot to enter my student loan interest and child tax credit, and second place was claiming some shady home office deduction i didnt qualify for. ended up using taxr.ai after seeing it reccomended here and it showed me exactly how to file correctly. got a legit $2300 refund without any sketchy stuff.
