Last year I got my federal tax refund in 15 days. But this year I've already been waiting for over 30 days now.
I was watching the news this evening and it said that coronavirus stimulus direct deposit payments will be delayed for TurboTax and H.R.Block filers due to a software glitch. They did not explain what the glitch is.
Now that I see so many other tax refunds have been delayed, I feel a little better that it was not something I did incorrectly on my tax return. So the glitch, or just the reduced staff in general because of the work from home situation, could be the reason for the delayed refunds???
I also noticed, like others have mentioned in this forum, that TurboTax did not prompt me for the 1095-A Health Insurance Marketplace Form during the interview, but I knew to go back and enter it because I write everything down each year when I do my taxes. I check and double check. I thought it was weird it did not prompt during the interview for the 1095-A this year, because it did ask last year. I had to go back through the TurboTax menus to find the 1095-A form and fill it in. This should not be something that is easily overlooked.
Anyway, I'm still waiting for my tax refund, but funny thing is, I already got my stimulus check even though I filed with TurboTax. So, as with so many things on the news, I don't know what to believe anymore. If the TurboTax filers stimulus payments are reportedly being delayed, why did I get mine? Just glad I did, since I'm still waiting on the tax refund. So many headaches this year!
