Belgarath Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Just curious as to what people may be hearing. Remarkably simple income tax return filed electronically end of January - IRS refund website confirms accepted January 31. Refund still not approved/processed. Return has 2 W-2's 2 1099's. That's it, standard deduction. In the past, these have been processed VERY fast. And everyone I know who filed at the same time this year got their refund processed and received very quickly. There's no option I'm aware of to actually talk to someone at the IRS who can say what the hold-up is. When I did call, the phone message was the EXACT wording that is on the "Where's my Refund" site. I just wondered if other folks you might know are encountering similar delays. It isn't anything critical - it's not like it is needed to pay bills or get groceries - it is just annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuseFan Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Wow, that is quite a delay. 1099s for SE income or retirement plan income? If SE, maybe that's the reason? I filed 1/30 and had both state and federal refunds by 2/14. Kenneth M.

Belgarath Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Retirement plan income. I expect it is in some kind of electronic limbo. If nothing happens in the next month I'll have to call the taxpayer advocate. Very strange - in the past, I've actually been shocked at how FAST it was processed! Maybe just an accumulated bad karma debt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgarath Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Here's another laugher. Got a letter last week saying, "we need another 60 days to review." They then say you can call if you want to, but of course they don't list a number anywhere on the letter. I wouldn't bother calling anyway - that's a one-way ticket to Frustration Junction in Obfuscation Land. And of course, they can decide, at the end of 60 days, to delay again, or ask for "more information" which they then have 45 days to review, etc., etc. Our tax dollars at work!!! Gotta love it...

Belgarath Posted May 31 Author Share Posted May 31 Refund finally approved (of course.) So late that they have to pay me interest! Bill Presson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
