After you file

Hi there @AmyC  thanks for your details! So at TEN weeks of waiting and no update with my e-file return, I called the IRS:

  • It's been ten weeks since e-file
  • IRS: nothing you can do but wait an undetermined amount of time
  • IRS: eventually you will get a letter to start the process of corrected whatever is wrong
  • IRS: no idea if any interest is being applied to the refund at this time
  • IRS: no idea what is wrong with return
  • IRS: there is nothing you can do to escalate

This is completely unacceptable.  The IRS is holding the refund hostage and gives no way to fix the issue.  If I owed money, they wouldn't let me wait months to pay it.  Any options?  Thanks!
