Congress is to blame for all the delays since they changed the tax laws mid stream during an active tax season and made some of the changes retroactive to the 2020 returns and the IRS is trying hard to correct the already filed returns within the confines of the law and the staffing shortage considering all of the new tasks they have had laid on their doorsteps over the last 6 months and all while using aging computer systems. Patience will be needed by all involved again this year.
