My refund has been approved by the IRS! My pension administrator claims that 1099 processing was delayed on the IRS side and they filed correctly on time. The IRS is saying nothing except it is approved and I should be having my refund deposited by June 25. Also getting interest added. Apparently there is no reason to file very early if most of your income/withholding is on 1099s since 1099 transmissions are not due until March 31.
