We all seem to be stuck just the same! No communication at all. Can’t get anywhere by calling. No answers. We are just at the back of the pile when we should’ve been first. Makes no sense and they’ve really let people down this year. Most families depend on this money for bills. I’m not too impressed at all. I’m very aggravated.


As stated above, there is not "bottom of the pile".

 

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 refunds will be paid in 1-2 weeks, others in 2-3 months and some 6 months or longer and require additional information to be sent.
