At this point it's like winning the lottery... I've been calling every day this week at 7 a.m. (as soon as the phone lines become open) and all throughout the day and even the very minute they open all I get is that the call volume is too high. It's been 5 weeks now since I E-Filed w/ direct deposit (supposedly this gets you your refund in 21 day). Meanwhile every day the money the IRS owes us is worth less due to inflation. If only we could make them pay interest and penalties when they are late with our money the same way they make us pay it when we are late. Although, at this point I mostly just want an answer about what's going on.... apparently that's too much to ask...
