I came across this forum because I have two amended tax returns out there in the irs black hole. I never had such problems with getting a refund before ever. I filed my 2020 tax return in February. I did it early bc I really needed the money bc I’m a single mom. Well they flagged my return for identity theft. Got that cleared up. Then I get a letter in the mail in April stating my tax return was adjusted and that I will be getting my refund in six weeks. Six weeks goes by and nothing. By some miracle I got a person on the phone and the person told me that my return was under review bc the turbo tax software put my 2019 wages in stead of 2020 and that I needed to file an amended return. Ok I did that in may, may 17th to be exact. Every day I check and it says it’s been received.
I’m so discouraged after reading some responses that it takes 6 months or longer to be processed. I really need that money and I’m at the point where I’ll most likely have to take a loan from my 401k. IRS really screws with peoples lives. I know they are backlogged from the pandemic but they should hire more staff.
My 2019 return had errors on it and I amended that return as well.
Who knows when I’ll actually get money back that is owed to me.
