Yes, many, many people are in the same situation.
The IRS is taking a closer look at so many returns this year. However, they are still understaffed, so refunds have been delayed by months.
You are not alone. This is happening across the country, regardless of the tax prep software or the credits claimed. It is happening to taxpayers at all income levels. It is even happening to senior TurboTax employees.
I know you are frustrated, but these measures are designed to protect you and all tax payers from tax identity fraud.
