After you file

The IRS said they are doing verification of income on my wife's employment. I spoke with the employer they stated the IRS was very vague on the phone of their needs. The IRS called the HR personal cell for some reason. She attempted to call the IRS back and they did not answer and she had to give information over voicemail. HR said they sent over everything just like everyone in the company. No one has had any problems besides my spouse. I thing it is a good way to withhold funds and earn a bit more interest on the money we hand over throughout the year. Gotta pay for the wall! Anyway one other note is this is the first year I've filed married jointly.  I filed Jan 29th 2018. They told me it will be a 45-60 day wait. I said and when does that time frame start? She said March 5th. So you are telling me I file my taxes in January and 6 months later I'll receive my return. Makes a lot of sense.
