After you file

I called and spoke with a human at the IRS yesterday. I called the collections line and asked a bunch of tax return questions. The lady was rude and  not very helpful, but I kept asking and she told me that right now they are processing returns and amended returns at a much slower rate, but the processing of returns does not impact the stimulus payments. Not sure if  I believe this because I have an amended return that is still processing and I haven't received an update on my DD date since I entered my info into GMP on 4/16.
