Tax returns

It’s been 2 months now since I haven’t received my tax returns. I’d like to know why they’re so quick to take it, but won’t give it. I’m a single mom who doesn’t get child support or any type of help,& I need this money to help me out to survive for me & my 1 yr old. I e been to the irs , they said there’s nothing I can do. I Called federal, & they can’t help. NO ONE can help me & I need answers!

Did you efile the return, and was it accepted?  Or did you mail a paper return?

Is your return showing up in this IRS tool?

https://www.irs.gov/refunds

If so, does that tool say it's "still being processed?"

 

If you're having an economic hardship, you can see if the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service can assist you. 

At the following IRS website, find the USA map and click on your state, and it will give you the number of your IRS Taxpayer Advocate.    If the Taxpayer Advocate can't/won't help you, ask them to transfer you to an an IRS agent.  A couple of users reported that at least for them, that was a backdoor route to the IRS.

The IRS is way behind in processing returns and sending refunds.  You will eventually get your refund with interest.
