@mesquitebean @deambriaabner - the IRS website implores people NOT to call, THey are woefully behind but it is evident they have your return. While I appreciate the purpose of the Advocate Desk, most posts I seeon these boards end up with the same result: Advocat us overwhelmed and all the calling just creates more frustration and long wait time.
Best just to continue to be patient. THe IRS is under a lot of pressure to get back to normal backlogs by the end of the year.
here is what the IRS staes on their website:
What you should do: In most instances, no further action is needed but you may check Where’s My Refund? or you can view your account. If you filed electronically and received an acknowledgement, you do not need to take any further action other than promptly responding to any requests for information. If you filed on paper, check Where’s My Refund? If it tells you we have received your return or are processing or reviewing it, we are processing your return, but it may be under review. If you filed before October 2021 and Where’s My Refund? does not have any information, your return has been opened but work on it has not begun. We’re working hard to get through the carryover inventory. Please don’t file a second tax return or contact the IRS about the status of your return.
