After you file

I’m in the same boat y’all.... Filed electronic return and accepted by IRS on February 21.  

Received IRS LTR 4464C on March 4.  I’m SURE it’s because I earned literally HALF of what I normally earn in 2019, so they’re verifying my identity.  

60 days is up today. I MISTAKENLY thought it was 6 WEEKS, so I’ve been calling the local TAS daily for 2 weeks and leaving messages.  Nobody is calling back.

 

 I DID get my $1200 stimulus check (direct deposit) on April 15th, coincidentally that was EXACTLY 6 weeks after I filed my return. So they obviously had to review my 2019 return to get the info.... 

I’ve been unemployed since December, I was REALLY counting on that $!  My unemployment insurance runs out this week, and I STILL haven’t received the $600/week and 13 week extension of unemployment benefits under the CARES act.  

 

It’s so frustrating, because between the tax refund and the retroactive $600 cares, the Federal government is holding onto approximately $11000 of MY MONEY, and I’m BROKE.
