I filed my taxes on April 19, and by that Friday (since I filed electronically) The IRS received my Tax return. When I looked at the schedule of when I should receive my return (put for Direct Deposit) I should have received it by May 18 at the latest. Last I checked (6/1/21 at 11am) it is still in the processing phase.
If the IRS knew that there was going to be a lot of people claiming the new child tax credit and other available credits due to COVID-19, then why in the world didn't they hire more people. I called the office last week and was told they are just now getting around to 2019 filers returns, and that I may not see my return until late July or early August. This is outrageous. I mean we as the American people have to return our paperwork in on time if we don't want to get fines tacked onto our already owed taxes
This is a case of do as I say not as I do. It's a shame that we can't boycott the IRS like we can other businesses, but hey that is our so called American Government. Land of the Brave yes, but not home of the Free. This country is one of the most expensive countries to live in, because prices keep sky rocketing. Unless you are rich already or win the lottery, there is no way to get ahead if you live in the great USA.
