After you file

Well, I called the IRS and held for over 30 minutes to suddenly get a busy tone - probably someone picked up the phone and just hung up right away.   

 

So, not to give up I called the IRS back again and I was immediately given a recording that said refunds for mailed-in paper returns could take 6 weeks, but that didn't help a bit to answer my few questions.

 

Finally, after another ½ hour hold I was able to talk with an IRS agent but he was not interested in helping to explain why refund amounts pertaining to two corrections on a 1040X amended return were not sent in one refund check. The IRS agent was also unwilling to find out why just one of the two corrections resulted in a refund and why the other correction refund remains unpaid. Nor was the IRS agent willing to find out if the remaining unpaid refund is still active or is in limbo for some reason. Worse than worthless!   

 

I have decided  to just wait to see if I ever get the $661 refund owed me for using $3k of my available capital loss carryover.  And, I have decided that if I never receive the $661 owned me for using $3k of my available capital loss carryover that I will just forget about it and hope it goes to something worthwhile, which I'm pretty sure is unlikely. 

 

The entire process is very frustrating because you cannot obtain detail answers to specific questions that make sense... 

 

I still don't understand why imported interest was duplicated on my 1040-SR resulting in doubling the earned interest from one payee, which required a 1040X amended return to correct - BTW, double interest from importing is something other TurboTax customers have experienced too according to the community forum. 

 

I still don't understand why my 1040-SR had blanks (nothing) for Lines 14, 15 & 16 on my Schedule D when there is no option (I'm told) to decline using available capital loss carryover when doing your Federal taxes online using TurboTax Premier, which required a second correction on the 1040X amended return.  These two corrections was why I filed a 1040X - I firmly believe both were likely caused by glitches in the TurboTax system, otherwise my capital loss carryover would have been automatically available (auto-filled) for the Schedule D like in past years. 

 

Very frustrating for numerous reasons!
