After you file
You can check the IRS website to check the status of your return. You must enter the primary SSN, filing status, and the gross amount of the refund. You may also call IRS @ 1-800-829-1040.
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
- Typos, offsets, and so on for still more, it is a long process this year to check each return for so many things.
- If there is a problem, you will get a letter explaining the issue.
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.
The more items on your return, the more complicated the processing. Some people are getting their refund in two parts.
