@robtechocomcast Not sure what you are trying to do, but please do not post your email address in this public user forum.  Luckily for you the filter removed it for your protection

This is a public web site that can be seen by anyone—including scammers and would-be identity thieves who would love to contact you and pretend to be from TurboTax.  

Do you have a question you want help with?

The IRS is having a hard time this year. Each return must be cross checked for the normal and now with the new laws:

• stimulus- is it correct, pay missing amounts, do they need to be added for the new stimulus
• unemployment - is it on there, was it filed with the $10,200 subtraction, does it need to be adjusted
• premium tax credit - is it on there, is there an amount due, adjust the return
• EIC - is it on, were they banned, is there a record of release to claim?
• Child credit -anybody else claim, how old are kids, what is allowed
• and so on for still more, it is a long process this year to check each return for so many things.

The IRS is also processing returns mailed in last year and handling the current stimulus. They have scheduled this summer to adjust unemployment on returns.

The more items on your return, the more complicated the processing.

Your reply is insufficient! Telling me what problems the IRS has is their problem and not mine. My problem is that I have a refund due me that they have not honored in a timely manner. Someone’s dropped the ball and as tax payers who pay there salaries we find it hard to forgive them. When I owe taxes they want my funds on a day certain. This is no answer or excuse.

Sorry that you are having an issue with the IRS.  TurboTax does not issue refunds or Stimulus checks.  TurboTax is a tax preparation platform.  If you have submitted your return to the IRS, then TurboTax is out of the picture.  IRS is forbidden to discuss your information with TurboTax because of privacy laws.  There could be several reasons why you have not received your Stimulus or refund.  However, you will have to discuss your refund timing with the IRS.
