about my refund

[ng8]

Dear Turbo Tax.

I am Ho P [address removed]. Follow your company guidance, I already file my tax return and sent it by certified mail in 5/8/2021 before the due date 5/17/2021. But until this time I don't receive my refund is 2436$.00 yet although I sent my requests to IRS by three letters and I didn't receive the feedback from IRS. I don't know what's reason I don't receive my refund above. Please help me to contact with IRS to provide my tax return from your company data that can confirm one more time about my status refund because I couldn't contact with IRS by phone and I really confuse about my case. From the day I sent my file paper to IRS until this time is more than 8 weeks, I don't know what's is that reason. One more time, please help me how to get my refund now. Thank you for help.

The IRS is running behind due to COVID, CARES Act, stimulus and a huge amount of mailed tax returns being filed this year.

There are about 17 million 2019 and 2020 unprocessed tax returns and they "hope" to have 2019 caught up this summer - meaning they are about a year behind.

TurboTax only gives the general IRS (most returns are processed within 21 days) date. The actual date is known only by the IRS. TurboTax also does not adjust the general date for anything on the tax return. TurboTax receives no feedback from the IRS after filing.

The IRS says most refunds will be issued within 21 days - some faster, some longer.
(Most means more than half so many take longer - MUCH longer)

Each tax return is evaluated on it's own merits. There is no first-in-first-out. Two similar tax return submitted at the same time can have totally different processing times based on IRS criteria for examining tax returns that the IRS does not divulge.

Some returns will be held for ID verification or other verification. The IRS will send a letter if they require more information to process your tax return.
