After you file

you and me both.  when i spoke to the IRS earlier this week they told me they were behind and it would be resolved by today.  but today i still show "return pending" with no further info.  i understand backlogs.  it's frustrating that they encouraged people to file early for quick return and now we are getting nowhere.  at the very least it would be nice for the IRS to publish some kind of update so people know what's going on.  a lot of people are counting on this money.
