After you file

My tax return was really basic.  My personal deduction was the basic $12,000.  So I had no deductions.  I'm beginning my retirement as we speak.  Therefore, I'm not going to have a paycheck for 60-90 days.  I need my paltry $2510 to get through the GAP.  I submitted my return on 02/12/2021.   TurboTax estimated my refund on 03/06/2021.  It's now 04/10/2021.  WTC?  

I realize the different problems being confronted by the IRS.  I do.  But my return is a quick look, bang, direct deposit.  MY question is:

How do tax payers, such as myself, have any recourse besides this STUPID message, "Your refund is being processed", please wait till we get our act together???

Please give us something besides the paltry party line about what 1000's of us are dealing with, give us something we can DO, something we can DO besides grab our, uh, elbow.  Not be patient, but TRY this...

I'm sick of being patient!
