Get your taxes done using TurboTax

All I can say is that I spoke to someone by calling the IRS directly yesterday  and was told I have to wait 5 weeks. For both. I was given specific dates by this person when I could call back and place the traces. So, I don’t know. Maybe you should also call the IRS to be sure you’re giving correct information. Maybe things have changed. I’m not sure. I will warn you - the wait times are long.

 

I also kind of feel like no one is actually reading anything I’ve written. When I spoke to the IRS I was told that the refund was deposited. February 26th and the stimulus was deposited on March 17th. Both to the same account. I understand that it might still be too early for the bank to have rejected the stimulus deposit, but I would think maybe by now they would have issued a rejection of the refund. 

All this having been said, I am just following the instructions given to me by the IRS and hoping this gets fixed.
