Its been over three weeks since i filed my Federal and it was accepted. The “wheres my refund” tool keeps saying it has been delayed and is still being processed. Then i realized i said i never got my 3rd stimulus but did. Why Is a simple recovery rebate question going to delay my taxes significantly. I called IRS and they keep hanging up on me.

If you had an error on your return, and claimed that you did not get the stimulus when you did, the IRS will take a little longer to process your return.  You will likely get a letter telling you that your return had an error on it and they are reviewing it.  You will then get a second letter telling you your new refund amount.  If the reason for the delay is that they are making a correction, it can take several extra weeks.

Mine says the same thing and I'm trying to figure out why also. It was accepted over 21 days ago.

Thanks 😊 so much for this information.  I was thinking that I only received 2 stimulus checks and I figured out that I had indeed received 3.  So I answered that question wrong when filing my taxes.  So now to my dismay, I will not receive my return in a timely fashion and you are saying that the dollar amount of my return will change?!!😠😳.  Why?!!!!  And I haven’t received any communication from them and I filed with Turbo Tax over 30 days ago…..
