Just an FYI - TurboTax has nothing to do with how quickly the IRS processes refunds or payments - once a return has been filed and accepted by the IRS, all further actions are controlled by the IRS.
This year, the IRS has taken longer to do everything - process returns, send out refunds, collect payments, etc..
Why is this happening? Tax season (normally Jan 1 - Apr 15) is the busiest time of the year for the IRS. This year, they have also had to deal with major changes in the tax law, including ones that were passed retroactively in the past two weeks. They are also struggling with the same COVID workplace and workforce issues the rest of the country has encountered.
