After you file

That's exactly my situation. I did speak to the IRS last week and they told me it's "under review" and that it may be mid April before I know or get anything. It could go in before that but they said it could be 45 days. I think they're just making stuff up instead of telling me what the issue is because there is no issue on my end. My stuff is legal and correct. I feel you so much about the fraudulent people getting approved already. It's sooooo frustrating!
