Thanks for the confirmation. I would have rather had the money sooner, but i guess the interest is a consolidation prize.Da5id wrote: ↑Wed May 26, 2021 6:05 pmI assume yes.

IRS Tax Refund - 10 Weeks w/o a Refund?
[Thread merged into here --admin LadyGeek]
-Is anyone experiencing long delay in receiving your 2020 federal tax refund?
-I filed electronically on March 14 via TurboTax. A simple return, Married filing Joint with Pension, SSA, and some investment income.
-File was accepted by IRS March 15 with estimated Fed Refund Date of April 5
-As of today, May 26, (72 days later), the IRS "Where is My Refund?" site tells me my return is being processed
-I called IRS today and after the lengthy "press this number if you are calling for..." routine received this message: "The IRS is extremely busy and unable to talk to me at this time. Please call back another time."
-It's now been 72 days since IRS received my return. Never had a delay like this one.
Not sure where to go next.

Re: IRS Tax Refund - 10 Weeks w/o a Refund?
There is a whole thread on this viewtopic.php?f=2&t=342205. Some are getting their refunds fast, others it is taking a while. I'm waiting for my refund and parents refund, and the opaqueness of it is very frustrating indeed.
The lesson appears to be "owe the IRS money and don't care about the lack of refund". Which is generally what I aim for anyway.

I mailed my return 3/1/21. When I check "where's my refund", it doesn't show that my return has been received. Should I mail a 2nd return at this point?

Re: How quickly did you receive your 2020 tax refund?
I filed 5/11 I think? Within a week of the deadline, thankfully on the "not in trouble" side of it.
5/17 state (CA) refund hit my bank account (direct deposit), 5/19 federal. I'm surprised either was quick, especially the state one.

Re: IRS Tax Refund - 10 Weeks w/o a Refund?
Filed and accepted 3/1. State took my payment immediately. Fed still says processing. I tried creating an IRS account, but because I moved states in 2020, they could not identify me online. So they say they will send me code by mail, and stated it should arrived in 5-10 business days. It's now been 3 weeks, no letter. I'll give it until 6/1, then I'm contacting my House Rep & Senators. This is ludicrous.HoosierMike wrote: ↑Wed May 26, 2021 6:50 pm [Thread merged into here --admin LadyGeek]

I had a newborn in 2020 (my first). I was fully expecting to get his 3rd stimulus check payment in 2022 when I sent in my 2021 return. However, after submitting my 2020 tax return, it appears the IRS recomputed the stimulus automatically, recognizing there was now a new dependent, and out of nowhere I received $1400 via direct deposit in my account on 5/3.
We have a refund of about $6.5k. This is because we paid estimated taxes thinking that our PPP loan will be taxed as income when passed through our S-Corp prior to clarification by the fed that it won't be taxed. I suspect the $20k PPP untaxed income is holding everything up. Although I don't need the money, I hate the suspense of wondering if I am about to get audited or not. I am confident that my filing is just and have all receipts to prove it. Despite that, I wish I knew what the IRS is up to and if my tax return is under review, will I be audited, or is something else going on.

Re: How quickly did you receive your 2020 tax refund?
I e-filed our federal return on May 15. The refund was deposited on May 26.
The refund is $2.61 more than expected. I assume that we'll receive a letter explaining why.

• Return e-filed with Taxslayer (myfreetaxes.com) and accepted: 05/25/2021 [extension]
• Refund approved and expected to be received by 06/16/2021
I attempted to purchase savings bonds but the IRS could not process it because I hadn't paid estimated taxes to the whole dollar, but the return I submitted was rounded. If only the IRS could take the change off the actual refunded amount, and still give me the savings bonds.

Re: How quickly did you receive your 2020 tax refund?
New twist on my OP saga. To recap, I filed and had the return accepted via TurboTax on February 20.
Today I received a "5071C" letter, dated June 7, with instructions to verify my identify.
The verification process is now complete, but the confirmation message tells me another 9 weeks?

Update: Today, June 12th, pending IRS deposit in checking account for original refund amount plus 3% interest. We were in the situation where Unemployment payments put our AGI at $154,000. IRS was supposed to recalculate our taxes, lowering our AGI to $144,000 triggering a refund of 22% of $10,200 and adjusting our COVID-19 payments. They didn’t do this. Now what?

Re: How quickly did you receive your 2020 tax refund?
I paper filed and snail mailed in February 2021.
Received refund on June 9, 2021
$1400 Stimulus for 2020 baby to be deposited on June 16.
IRS website where’s the refund didn’t acknowledge any activity until early June.
So 4 months for anyone who is still waiting on their return.

Re: How quickly did you receive your 2020 tax refund?
I spoke with a close family friend who is a CPA and he was like we have some people who also filed for missing stimulus get their returns with in a week. and we have some that filed in early february who still haven't seen it. not extra stimulus. He said its basically all they are dealing with right now.
Re: How quickly did you receive your 2020 tax refund?
Filed 4/3/2021 (turbotax e-file). That's the message we still see. We keep checking bank, but hasn't shown up there, either.
Related, we did not get a stimulus check yet this year. It says:
"We're unable to show your payment status because:
Your payment has not yet been processed, or
You're not eligible for a payment."
Here's hoping they work it all out soon.
Re: How quickly did you receive your 2020 tax refund?
This is helpful to know. Guess we just need to be patient. Thanks!
Re: How quickly did you receive your 2020 tax refund?
They're clearly not staffed sufficiently. We also received notice that a former trustee overpaid taxes from a few years back and we need to call them within 30 days to tell them what to do wit the money (send a check or hold for future taxes). Every time we've called, we can't even sit on hold. The message just says they're too busy and to call another time. Odds are, we won't get through in the 30 day window. We're three weeks into that and haven't been able to get anything other than the we're too busy message.stw wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 4:41 pmFiled 4/3/2021 (turbotax e-file).

Re: How quickly did you receive your 2020 tax refund?
Filed and accepted through Turbo Tax on 4/17. Haven't seem a thing yet. Fairly simple return claiming missed stimulus (eligible based on 2020 income). Still waiting on Stimulus #3 as well.

FWIW, my 2020 college grad with a job had a fairly simple return, e-filed in May via HRBlock, got refund 10 days later and he claimed missed stimmies and got #3 by ACH earlier this June.
Re: How quickly did you receive your 2020 tax refund?

Re: How quickly did you receive your 2020 tax refund?
Congrats on at least getting some money back. I would love to see a refund in my account, but based on what I am seeing, I am not expecting it for another 30 days. At least I'm getting 3% on that cash so its not the worst scenario. I just hate the uncertainty behind it all. To the best of my knowledge and capability I filed my taxes following the law. But still, there is nervousness that maybe I made a mistake somewhere and the IRS is taking a deep dive into my tax returns which is why it is taking so long. Odds are that is not the case and they are simply backed up, but I still can't stop me from being concerned. The way I see it, either the return is processed within 2 weeks or it will take 3 months. Looks like I am in the 3 month range. I filed on April 15th which means I shouldn't even think about it till July 15th.eddot98 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 10:42 amUpdate #2: A few days ago we received another IRS deposit in checking account for an unexplained amount that still doesn’t adjust the refund to the correct amount, according to the HR Block program that we used to file the return.

Re: Federal tax return
If you filed a paper return, it is probably still waiting to be processed. The UI adjustment won’t be processed until the return is. If you E-filed and the return is missing, I’d call the IRS.

Re: Federal tax return
Are you referencing the extra refund due to change in unemployment taxation? Those just started going out recently and they do not expect to be done until some time in the fall. A human being must manually process each one!

I filed electronically in April, got an incorrect refund maybe 3 weeks later based on their calculation of tax owed prior to my estimated payment. So now waiting for $3850 in Ibonds (which was supposed to be $5k). They will probably not send the bonds and send another refund instead I suspect.

Re: Federal tax return
This is a semantic thing, but it bugs me so I'll say it. Your tax "return" refers to the paperwork you file with the government (federal Form 1040 plus other forms, etc.). Your tax "refund" refers to the money you receive back if your tax return shows you are owed a refund in taxes. I believe you meant to say, "Federal tax refund".

Re: Federal tax return
I paper filed in March also and IRS is still not showing it being processed.
They could at least have a mechanism to show they received the paperwork.
I have a refund due, but chose to carryover to 2021. Does anyone know if it will eventually get credited to my 1st qtr. est. taxes, or does it get credited in the qtr. that the tax filing is processed?

If it is sitting in a large shipping container, they would have no way of knowing. In March, I doubt many people were actually working at the main IRS processing centers. If it is sent with the right POD service the carrier should be able to acknowledge that they delivered it to the IRS.nice2bfree wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 9:25 pm I paper filed in March also and IRS is still not showing it being processed.

Re: Federal tax return
(I assume you are referring to your refund because you overpaid federal income taxes).
Here's the answer I received from the local volunteer leader of the RSVP tax prep organization (which I also volunteer doing tax returns for free for taxpayers our community). My question to him was "Why hasn't my son received his federal income tax refund, it's been two months since I e-filed his return?" (BTW, my son did receive his NY and SC state refunds, these two state returns were e-filed at the same time as the federal return).
"I have received numerous emails & texts from clients in the same situation.
Every return that includes missing, one or both, stimulus payments are not being processed at this time.
At least 10% of the 800 returns completed at our volunteer site are in this category. I have checked many of them and the same message appears."
>>> "The same message appears" is: Your tax return is still being processed.
