Waiting on Tax Refund

[CCStaxes2020]

After E-filing in February, I still have no refund. Called IRS at 7 am and talked to an agent. My refund was held up because Social Security didn't give them my change of name after I was divorced. I changed my name with Social Security in 2014. I have not filed taxes in years because I am on SSDI. The IRS agent said it would be at least 8 weeks if not more after Social Security gets the info straight before I will get a refund. Not positive confirmation yet, but I am sure this is why I haven't received a stimulus check. 

Called Social Security and they have my name correct. They told me that was a cop out that the IRS told me my name was the reason for the hold up. There was nothing Social Security could do to help me.

I am going to call the local IRS office to see if someone can get this straightened out. 

Seems like the IRS is just making excuses.

It sounds like you have the right plan so far, but if you don't make any headway with the IRS local office, please consider the Taxpayer Advocate Service here.
