I am seeing the same thing. The past 2 years has been a nightmare with the irs it took about 2 years to get my 2019 return.  What gives I do it early so I can get it back early.. they gave me 2$ interest btw when they held my return all that time

Showing.. almost every year the IRS audits me for the EIC. Im a poor black man and my children live with me. They see their friends parents buying them new clothes and toys every year around tax season and I have to tell my children I don’t have the money for extra things because the IRS is withholding my tax return refund.

I am a poor /financially white Irish woman who has been audited every year for the EIC for the first 8 years I claimed it from 1997 to 2005. Life is not always nefarious. It could be one of 3 things randomly even though it feels person . Or because the amounts and and children claimed do not make sense to the IRS.  Or it could be fraud .now I do not know you so I always go with the most positive out look until it is proven otherwise . By year 4 if these audits I was getting I figured it is random.  Year 5 I got a tax pro to help out turns out the first several were  random the last 3 we're looked into because of my husband once we got married I was suppose to file injured spouse so I would get my side of the taxes back he owed child support for his other 2 kids .  Hell he still owes the same amount for them 3 kids to this day . They are in their late 20s and early 30s . So probably had 0 to do with the color of your skin.

So I just got that same message when I checked this morning and my federal return was supposed to be $2,331 but when I checked the transcript it says this 

why is my issued refund only $1,400 and then tax relief credit -$1,400 I don’t understand

That is showing you last year's 3rd stimulus. It appears it is one of 2 things happening here. If you go to your full transcript at the bottom you will see the amount you are gonna get when you filled with a minus Sign in front and there may be another amount under it with a minus Sign. So if you have that either it is the Second amount which is less then what you originally expected is what u will get and if you figure it out so example 4227-1400=2827 so original amount was 4227I was getting back now the government thinks each tax payer should foot the bill for the millions that got the 1400and only tax payers need to pay it back so I would only be getting 2827or.   4227+2827=7054 will be deposited separately  as you see there are 2different dates on your transcript in 2022 so you are gaining . But honestly the way the government works it is so much more likely to be the 1st option . So we are all getting less .And paying back that nice 3rd stimulus that didn't pay squat since the gas had doubled the food has tripled they are forcing vaccines and people are getting fired left and right which you can not get unemployment if you get fired due to refusing vaccine or not proving any exemption as well .

@BI97_2  hey your right that was my mistake my returns got accepted feb 1st 2022 and in the transcript it doesn’t show any date for 2022 refunds or whatever it says your refund has been delayed is this a normal thing or a bad thing

I have this message, AND my transcript says that I have not even filed a return even though it was accepted on 1/24. I know I had to wait until 2/15 because I have EITC, but this is ridiculous and I know someone else that filed after me and already has a DDD

It has yet to be processed. I’d expect a delay but you shouldn’t panic. They claim they’ll get everything together before the deadline.

Why is my payment been delayed the normal timeframe.?

The IRS is good at making people panic. This is a message everyone is receiving so that they can ensure the correct Economic Impact payments are issued.

Wait . I am not sure I follow you .they have already done that .your s.s number is linked to each and every economic payment paid across time . Which is why if you did not get 1 our of the 3 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 3 there is a separate amendment you have to file 1040x so that would have 0 to do with someone trying to file their regular taxes  right? So the delays like this one come every single year for as far back as I can remember . It usually is because they are trying to find a mistake in the tax form to pay unless then what you originally have . That is why all the random Audit and the insanity if you file injured spouse or anything else that causes the IRS to have to do anything extra .

So mine just changed to this message Saturday morning, I filed 1.31 and was accepted within the sane 24 hours so does the mean if will probably go through later this week? How long did you have that message? I went to transcript tab on website and it just give me a pull down list no dates if any kind
