Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
For online applications, it can take up to 3 weeks before a status shows up. For paper applications, it can take up to 12 weeks before a status shows up.
Some common reasons this might be happening:
- Identity mismatch: The SSN/ITIN and zip code you filed on your application is different than the one you just entered.
- It's too soon: For online applications, it can take up to 3 weeks. For paper applications, it can take up to 12 weeks. For ANCHOR-only applicants, check back in the Fall.
- Forgot to press submit: If you filed your 2025 application online you should have received a Web Reference Number on the confirmation screen. Otherwise, your application was not successfully submitted. The filing deadline is November 2, 2026.
- Prior year PAS-1 filers: If you applied for a prior tax year (2024 or previous), check your application status on this page.
