Thanks CatinaT1 for the link. Unfortunately, no where on that page did they say anything about added delays to the 21 days estimate. I don't understand why they won't acknowledge that due to short staffing; refunds could take longer than the normal 21 days for those who filed electronically with direct deposit. Not to mention the fact they processed $200+ billion already in refunds. This is very concerning now because it makes me think that something probably is wrong with my returns and it is my fault even though I have been filing the same returns for several years and never had any problems with the IRS!
Very frustrating and hopeless situation we're in.
