I have been doing my own taxes since 1978 and it has NEVER taken THIS long to get a refund back from the federales. Of course they are blaming it on TrumpRID19, errrrr, I mean Covid.
In times past before hubs had a business, I worked it so mostly would break even or owe a little which I would pay on April 15th.
But since hubs has a biz and we experience a "paper loss" and also with Schedule E, investment property we are dumping $$$ into, we are expecting a refund over 6K.
Filed on 3/5/21. Website says "processing" Thanks Pedo Joe and the Ho!
Oh, and, they cashed the check I sent with the return within a week of filing.
Your tax refund has been redistributed to the new illegal boarder-jumpers and democrat voters, thank you for your contribution, citizen.
I filed in February, and the direct deposit hit yesterday.
Yeah when you OWE money it is zapped instananeously.
The local IRS shut down several months ago because they could not handle the volume. One thing that fell apart was getting certificates of tax compliance, which you need to have if you are doing work for government entities. So technically our contracts could have been canceled by at least the entities involved acknowledged the IRS was not functioning. We finally got our compliance certificate last week, about 6 months late.
sadly not far from the truth.
Hubs has a micro business (smaller than small-himself and a former co-worker who is a sub contractor) I do all the bookkeeping and regulatory compliance which there is a lot of here in the People’s Republic of Cuomo. It’s an LLC and NYS puts you through the ringer.
The fact that you usually either get a small refund or owe a small amount and this one is much parger and it’s a refund, is probably the real delay. But of course I am just speculating. 8>)
My mom’s return has been three months do far.
It could be anything. One year I received a letter from the IRS asking me to send them a copy of my Schedule D. They claimed I didn’t include it in my filing but that’s bs and they probably lost it somehow.
might be because of the extra schedules
i am like you and usually get it within 3-4 weeks
Refund.
We filed in early March but owed the Feds money...and they cashed our check in less than a week.
Planning for a refund is a fool’s errand.
Get control of your estimated tax opportunity.
E-filed in early May.
7 days.
Keep in mind they are all working from home. I would think Anything needing review might be delayed.
Got my 12 bucks in the mail a month or so ago.
Didn’t really care if I got it or not
I owed money and my check was cashed within 5 days of mailing it!
I have a sibling with a similar view, based on many years’ past experience versus this year. It first took them from January to April to tell him his tax preparer made a small error, which will result in a smaller refund, and now two months latter no other notice and no refund. He called them back immediately in April, as they requested, telling them he did not contest their correction, thinking that would put the refund back on track. Obviously not.
There are worst cases of near death bureaucracies in some states.
I had a relative in Illinois. Back in January 2019 we (her ex-husband and I) were trying to find out what had happened with a request for Medicaid that had been submitted for her in October 2018. It took some detective work by a helpful hospital social worker who had helped with the Medicaid application. But we finally got an answer: the Illinois state Medicaid office was, in January 2019, just processing the Medicaid applications from July 2018. So, they were running about six months behind. Given that my cousin’s application was submitted in October 2018, the earliest they might have had an answer was maybe by April-May 2019. My cousin died of her dementia months before that.
