The IRS is having a hard time this year. Each return must be cross checked for the normal and now with the new laws:
- stimulus- is it correct, pay missing amounts, do they need to be added for the new stimulus
- unemployment - is it on there, was it filed with the $10,200 subtraction, does it need to be adjusted
- premium tax credit - is it on there, is there an amount due, adjust the return
- EIC - is it on, were they banned, is there a record of release to claim?
- Child credit -anybody else claim, how old are kids, what is allowed
- and so on for still more, it is a long process this year to check each return for so many things.
The IRS is also processing returns mailed in last year and handling the current stimulus. They have scheduled this summer to adjust unemployment on returns.
@Love2Fish If your return is a w2 with none of the credits, it will fly through. Each additional thing will take a little longer.
