Accepted 2/4 and still no refund??

I had such a basic tax return and people with more complicated returns are getting their refund before me. TurboTax along with other companies had an issue with people not being able to select no when asked if they had Healthcare through the Affordable Care Act. A Turbo Tax expert on here specifically said to just put the number one on the 1040, go back and select yes, then submit. They stated it would finally go through. I have a standard W-2 tax return. There is no reason why I should be still waiting for my return. I'm pretty convinced that TurboTax gave us incorrect information and direction.

What is happening a lot this year is people entered $0 when asked how much they received for the recovery rebate (or the Advanced Child Tax Credit). In reality, they did receive the money, usually by direct deposit.  So, the IRS says, hey, we are not paying you this $1,400 again, you can only have it one time.  The Recovery Rebate is ONLY for those who did not get the Third Stimulus Payment. So the IRS then adjusts your refund and removes that extra $1,400 per person on your return.

Take a look at your bank statements going all the way to March of 2021.  Many people find that they did actually receive it, but they forgot about it or just  never noticed it.

If you find you absolutely did not receive the payment, you can call the IRS at 800-829-1040 to find out where they sent it.
