After you file

[Halljr71]

Just as I expected. After being accepted two weeks ago by the IRS, having filed on January 13,2022 and somehow my unemployment was entered twice on my return, have no idea because I know for a fact that I only entered it once, and doubled my AGI, and yes I should’ve thoroughly checked it over before I sent it which I thought I did, the  IRS put a message on WMR saying that they apologize that my tax return will not be processed in the normal timeframe and will be delayed. I will never use TurboTax again

I'm in a similar situation not with workers comp or unemployment but I filed the same day you did the 13th and today it says exactly what it said to you when you check?!

[Halljr71]

It’s ridiculous. I’ve seen people file on February 1 and have their money less than a week later. Had the child tax credit like I do. I can’t understand it. If the IRS processes tax  returns in the order they are received, how’s this possible that people filing weeks later are being processed first?

Turbotax is not a reliable tax firm and when you catch them in a lie they hurry up and pass you off to someone else or act like you made the mistakes.. They are already being sued for over charging customers to file their taxes after they choose the free filing option then after they filed with turbo tax they extorted customers to pay them if they wanted their refunds. Look it up.

Yes I agree that TT isn’t reliable. I won’t use it ever again

The law does not allow the IRS to process a return with Child Tax Credit until mid-February.  If one was processed earlier there was some problem allowing that to happen.  I have never waited more than a few days for my return to be processed and have been using TurboTax since 1993.  

Almost all returns are processed within three weeks.  Some forms or errors may need to be processed by a human and those can take a lot longer to process.  It is almost always user error when a return is held up.

" I have never waited more than a few days for my return to be processed "

You've been lucky.

I filed  end of April 2021 and my refund has gone down the rabbit hole, still never to be seen.

[Halljr71]

Almost all returns are processed within three weeks? That’s not true. What a ridiculous statement. There’s millions of people out there that are waiting a hell of a lot longer than three weeks to get their tax returns processed. And no it was not my error that caused it to be held up-turboTax imported my 1099 unemployment tax form. Blame needs to go where it should and that’s with TurboTax

The IRS started this filing season further behind than they have ever been in history.  Dealing with the IRS this year is not the same as the IRS of past years.  

This is the national taxpayer advocate's report to Congress for this year.  It's got a lot of information in it but its biggest takeaways are that the IRS started 2021's filing season with 6 million 2020 returns, 2.3 million amended returns, 5 million quarterly returns and 5 million pieces of correspondence unprocessed.  That was how they started the year.

It's just getting more interesting from there.
