Anyone else still waiting on tax return?

Anonymous — Fri, 16 Jul 2021 05:00:17 GMT

Got the stimulus money this month yet still waiting on the tax return filed months ago. Talked to irs rep who said nothing was wrong, it just is waiting still to be processed and would get done when it gets done. Anyone else still sitting here twiddling their thumbs waiting for their money?

Interesting. I owed this year (due to unusually high cap gains) and mailed in a check in May thinking they'd be super slow about it so that money could earn lolinterest while it sat waiting for them.

They cashed it in less than a week.

Yep they cashed my $251 check in exactly 7 days.

Mine was for about $15,000 so I was really hoping they'd sit on it. Le sigh.

Do you do it by mail and also request a check by mail? I use Turbo Tax and have been submitting my federal electronically the last few years and I have them direct deposit the refunds into my checking account. I feel it only took about 2 weeks to get the refund from when I did it in February. Our joint filing is simple, though, and nothing complicated. The stimulus deposits always came on the day that they were announced to be starting. Even my $300 direct-deposited yesterday right away.

I do everything electronically with direct deposit. Normally it takes a week or two and I have it. This time it is being dragged out and I have no understanding as to why.
