    Curious about what that IRS transcript code means? Or did you get an error code on WMR?

    One of the biggest questions we see during tax season are what the various reference codes mean on the IRS Refund Status Tool (previously known as “Where’s My Refund”) – or on the IRS2Go app.  A lot of tax filers are getting IRS Reference Codes back, but don’t know what they mean and don’t know if they are in trouble. 

    That is closely followed by what do the various codes on the IRS tax transcript mean (for those that diligently check their transcript daily during tax season).

    For more information on when to expect your tax refund if you don’t want to worry about transcript codes, check out When To Expect My Tax Refund Tax Calendar.

    Also, if you’re concerned about a generic message that says “Refer to Tax Topic 152”, all that means is check out these tips about getting your refund. Here is a link to Tax Topic 152.

    We put together a list of common errors and issues, you can check it out here: IRS Where’s My Refund Common Questions.

    What Is A Tax Transcript And Why Does It Matter?

    The IRS tax transcript is the readout of your personal IRS Master File account where your tax return is processed. Every tax filer has an account at the IRS tied to your Social Security or Tax Payer ID number, and you can pull the transcript of everything happening to your file.

    Transcript Codes show what actions are being performed on your tax file. Savvy filers know that they can pull their tax transcript and potentially see when they will be getting their tax refund early. It will also show any errors or issues.

    Common things you can see in your tax transcript:

    • When your tax refund is set to be issued
    • If your tax refund is subject to offset
    • Any adjustments to your tax refund
    • And issues or IRS notices

    Here’s an example transcript:

    IRS WMR Error And Reference Codes

    Here are the IRS Where’s My Refund Tool Reference codes. This is slightly different than your tax transcript. These error codes are specific to the WMR app (Where’s My Refund app).

    You read this chart by first looking for your code, then seeing what the error is. Each error has a specific set of steps that the IRS will follow, called Inquiry Response Procedure.  Here is the list of what the IRM Codes mean.

    These are the IRS Reference Codes we’ve been able to source for the IRS internal documentation. If you’re seeing new codes or something different, please drop a comment below so we can research it.

    If You Get a Reference Code on Your WMR

    If you check Where’s My Refund (WMR) and see you have a reference code, you should identify the code and see if any action is required.

    In many cases, no action is required on your part.  One of the most common codes is 9001, which, as you can see, just means you accessed WMR using a different SSN or TIN.  Once the IRS analyzes to ensure no fraud has taken place, you will get your return like normal.

    If there is an issue, the IRS will typically send you a letter to your mailing address within 90 days stating what the issue was, and any additional information required.

    If you have any questions, you can contact the IRS directly at 800-829-1040.
