I mailed in our 2021 1040 and supporing documents 2/28/22. We are due a sizeable refund because my wife overestimated the excess taxes she had withheld from her paycheck. As of today, 5/11/22, we have not received a refund and haven't heard Jack Schitt from the IRS. The "Where is my Refund" IRS app says it can't give any information on the status of our refund. I think that the GOV is slow-rolling refunds and using the money instead to fund social spending programs.
Haven't you seen the news on NBC,CBS,ABC about this? The IRS is so back logged on mailed returns that they still have more then a million 2020 unprocessed returns (well over a year late). The IRS must pay interest on any refund over 45 days late and that is amounting millions of dollars.
