After you file

5/24: Received my refund today, a mere 102 days after return was accepted by IRS on 2/11.  No interest included.  My timeline:

 

4/30: Called IRS to inquire per instructions earlier on this thread.   Was told my file was referred for review and I should wait 30 days.  But I should expect a letter "in a couple of weeks".

 

5/22: No letter received, so I called the IRS back.  Was told to wait the full 30 days until 5/30. No updates in my file.

 

5/23: Where's my Refund shows a new message after 100+ days of only showing "return received".  Now it still says "return received" but they apologize that my return is delayed.

 

5/24: Where's my refund finally says "refund approved" and should be deposited by 5/29.  Was actually deposited same day (5/24).

 

So frustrating.
