With Biden’s devaluing money with his spending sprees, he needs every penny he can get right now.
Hence the need to slow-walk your money back to you...
I e-filed on 02/13 and the refund showed up on 02/23.
we filed in early feb.
got our 12 buck refund yesterday
The delay is not a product of ineptitude but of intentional slow walking the processing of returns. This extends the time the government has to use your interest free loan.
My CPA efiled both Federal and PA State returns. I got the Fed refund in 2 weeks, and paid the PA State what I owed on April 1st. Bang, zoom, done.
i filed mine on april 6 electronically and received them on on april 14th
Filed our Fed return March 30...no refund yet. I filed my mother’s return before “porkulus/stimulus #3” (that really screwed up the IRS...new rules for certain tax credits and etc.) and she got hers in 2 weeks.
I e-filed on Saturday 5/8/2021, owed 1600 (because of capital gains). It will be interesting to see how fast they withdrawal from my account..
Checked, they withdrew the month on 5/12/2021.
