Omg! Same, same, same! I totally thought I was the only one with these issues! My 30 days was up yesterday, called that Tax Assistance number a few times, left message with my situation & contact info. ..they say they will do their best to respond in 3 days, it's been like a week & half. I havent got my stimulus check and when check on website, it says not available at this time. I check i.r.s. where's my return? It says still being processed. I dont know what to do so because I've filed all prior years & never had an issue, I've made an appointment with H & R block tmrw, I will come and update you all after. P.s. I believe it is an issue with address changes & also cannot make an online account cos no credit card or loans ever. This is such bull. Not acceptable, Turbo Tax. Crooks
TurboTax has NOTHING to do with the stimulus whatsoever - that is the IRS.
The stimulus will not happen until the 2019 return has been fully processed. That is totally up to the IRS. You are wasting your time (and money) going to H&R (or any one else) because once a return has been accepted by the IRS nothing more can be done.

**NOTE*** Due to the Corona virus the IRS is operating short staffed. All field offices are closed and some processing centers are all but closed. Any tax return that requires hand processing will probably have long delays. Mailed returns are not being processed at all at this time. Most phone service has been curtailed.

Each tax return is evaluated on it's own merits. There is no first-in-first-out. Two similar tax return submitted at the same time can have totally different processing times based on IRS criteria for examining tax returns that the IRS does not divulge.
Some returns will be held for ID verification or other verification. The IRS will send a letter if they require more information to process your tax return.
