Yes same situation and you cannot get through when you call the IRS.  So when you call the IRS it will either say their offices are closed or call volume too high and that's at 7 a.m.

There are many issues that can delay refunds, including ones over which the IRS has no control. Here are the top three categories:

 

Administrative requirements

Missing, inconsistent, or suspect information

  • The IRS found errors, inconsistencies, or missing info on the return. For example, you and a former spouse both claimed the same child as a dependent.
  • The return is under review, which can happen randomly.
  • The IRS suspects identity theft or fraud.

Delivery glitches

  • Your refund check could just be delayed in the mail. The reason could be as simple as a new postal carrier learning your route.
  • Electronic payments may be delayed by bank transfer and posting issues.
