I don't even have the bar to show the returns process. I got my state almost instantly, but my federal taxes have not budged since March 10th. Is anyone else having this issue?



Update: Says my taxes will be in my account by April 28th.

Same! I’ve called twice previously and they told me they have my return but it’s not processed. I figure they’re just behind as usual. I’m still waiting on my stimulus too.

My state was on my account the next day, and I’ve already paid.

You aren’t the only one. I waited well over 30 days this year.

filed 2/13 received the refund 3/17.

Don’t bother calling, they’re just gonna lie. They are very behind. You kinda just have to wait it out.

Mine was accepted on the 13th of last month. But it’s still saying it’s being processed. It shouldn’t take this long since I always get it deposited into my account.

You should check out Reddit r/irs. There are folks who have been waiting since they were accepted back on 2/12 and still have not received their refunds. Their issue was that particular batch (over 7 million returns) was sent to the "Errors department"......by mistake. I'm sure they will get to it, just hang in there.

I was accepted 2/13 and still nothing. What is like day 50? No stimulus and still waiting on benefits plus SS. This government sucks.

Yes, same issue. I got my state refund back within 2 weeks but federal is still pending and I have not received my stimulus. Not happy when I got on their website not information is coming up.

If you collected UI in the past year they're likely amending returns on their end. Either that or something else is delaying it. I filed late FEB & still don't have my federal refund

The IRS sent over 7 million returns to error processing to “buy time”, especially if you claim childcare credits or EITC.

“An IRS call center agent told White on Wednesday that “over 7 million returns were sent to the Error Resolution System to buy time.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/03/12/irs-tax-refund-delays/

I was in the same boat. Filed mine 2/13. Nothing showing in the IRS system until about two days before my funds were deposited on March 30.

ETA: there was a rumor that the Treasury was hacked in February and many returns that were filed on or before 2/13 were deleted and have to be manually re-entered/checked, explaining the delay.

Same! It's never taken longer than a week; got the stimulus though.

I checked online and it's still at received.

"Nearly 7 million tax filers are in limbo and facing substantial delays in getting refunds so far this tax filing season, as the Internal Revenue Service struggles to keep up with the demands of issuing stimulus checks and implementing myriad tax code changes from coronavirus relief packages, including the one President Biden signed this week."

The whole article:

Sounds like the IRS needs to hire more people. They are so overwhelmed.

The Trump Administration cut their budget very deep which caused lay-offs. Hope this agency can get its budget back with this Administration.

The IRS was shut down for months along with the rest of the country last year. Employees were catching covid left n right (and still are), a lot of the older employees retired, etc. Some people worked from home, but most of the processing centers shut down or cut back the # of employees working. Then the govt picked them to issue stimulus payments on top of the work they’re trying to catch up on. They’re still trying to process last years returns (both domestic and international...remember they service the world not just the US).

Unfortunately you just have to be patient. Everyone is doing the best they can. Hiring people only helps but so much. They would still need to be trained.

How are you guys able to get in touch with the IRS? The automated system keeps telling me to call back.

Actually, just one of the many reasons they are behind this year. We just got a email, then followed by a notice 2 weeks ago that they are also cracking down on identity refund theft this year and we had to provide physical proof.

Lol and no LSA it was not a damned scam ;)

Same here. I checked the reddit thread mentioned earlier and it seems like a lot of people are having this issue who filed mid-February. My return was accepted on 3.1 and it still says processing. I guess we'll be waiting another month or two..

The website still says my refund is processing and it's been literally twelve weeks since my return was accepted. I'm over it. And of course it's damn near impossible to actually speak to a human being.
