This wait is so stressful. My husband has cancer which metastasized to his bones via his spine. His ability to work ended about 4 years ago. Most of his 401k is gone. I, spend a lot of time depressed because I have to borrow from Peter to pay Paul. This refund would have paid off loans I had to get on my own credit which was not the best. I'm feeling very anxious about this and would like to get our refund so we no I, can feel a since of relief and enjoy what time we have left together. But for now I'm just feeling 😕
If you have a hardship, you should talk to the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service to get information for you or sometimes even tweak things. They are especially prone to help if you have an economic hardship, or if there have been continued delays with lack of info from the IRS. At the following IRS website, find the USA map and click on your state, and it will give you the number of your IRS Taxpayer Advocate. If the Taxpayer Advocate can't/won't help you, ask them to transfer you to an an IRS agent. A couple of users reported that at least for them, that was a backdoor route to the IRS.
