Apply you overage to this year’s tax, and cut your withholding. You get the money whether the iRS does anything or not.
Why are you giving Uncle Sam an interest free loan?
Probably a scam to have congress authorize and
hire more employees.
There it is— flat tax.
Our Govt is broke.
Getting a refund just means you gave the government an interest-free loan.
Maybe they should just cut out the Income Tax.
Let’s see...
The USPS is pretty f’d up these days,
The DHS is totally off the rails.
Meritless Garland’s DOJ/FIB are running without merit.
The NIH/CDC et. al are out of control.
Mayor Pete is off the butt edge.
The State Dept is trying to create War with the Rooskies.
Total gov’t meltdown.
But remember, they did cash all those checks even if they didn’t process your return. For the 2019 & 2020 tax years they cashed my check and then sent me letters that they didn’t receive my return! Luckily, I just made copies of my return and sent it to them. Like the VA did several years ago, I’m sure that they will eliminate the backlog by destroying the returns and requiring the preparers to resend them.
File electronically if possible. No paper.
My brother and SIL are still waiting on their refund. Wonder of government is getting the interest on all those refunds?
Why wait for a return? Just don’t overpay throughout the year.
I will never understand why people are so willing to make interest free loans to the Federal government.
I spoke to the IRS this week. We are waiting for a 13k refund. Crazy how late it is. It’s difficult to begin work on the current return when this is in limbo. Another thing to thank our administration for.
According to both irs hrlp line and at least three notices on the irs website, anyone receiving a letter asking for another copy of their 2020 tax return should not submit it. Zillions of these mistaken notices were mailed out by mistake. So long as you sent it in ( and I’d want to have kept the receipt of course), it is ok. What they say happened is simple. They rip off your Cheque abs cash it. Then they just got backlogged on processing the attached returns.
Their computer sent out the notes without anybody catching the mistake. Their staff said that if you send in a second copy it will only mess things up worse and you might get two bills for anything they think you might still owe. And then if you agree and pay it — they’ll credit it only to one of the teo bills and keep sending you the other one.
Ymmv
It would be funny if it weren’t so —-classically governmentish.
Check with irs for yourself !

The IRS should stop Spying for the Democrats and do the job they were hired to do
It’s amazing, with Amazon I go on line and order, pay, receive stuff and return stuff and get like INSTANT credit to my account with refunds etc... Imagine that, huh folks !
How is that that Amazon can do that but the IRS is totally useless with a budget of 12.4 BILLION and biden wants to ..... increase funding for the IRS by $80 billion ? Ya right that’s gonna help, we are all a bunch of chumps to put up with this B.S.
File electronically if you want a refund.
There really is no longer any need to collect income taxes.
The government does not have to take in enough to pay its expenses.
The current financial system just allows government to print as much money as it wants to spend.
Get rid of the IRS. There is no need for that bureaucracy when they just keep the money printing presses running.
Maybe IRS is busy investigating Trump supporters, so they’re slow on normal work.

I’m still waiting for mine...
