REFUND STATUS

queenerp — Thu, 18 Mar 2021 18:38:22 GMT

What's going on? My state refund was submitted and I got my refund within a 1-1/2 weeks. My federal taxes were also submitted to the IRS on February 12, 2021 and when I checked "Where's My Refund" I got this statement:

"we cannot provide any information about your refund". Verify that it was submitted!

What should I do? HELP!

Furthermore, the IRS has just started sending out Stimulus #3, and it will take a few weeks for everyone to get theirs. It comes separately, not as part of your 2020 tax refund. See:

Thank you for your response but it makes me MAD that the IRS is so backlogged with 2019 returns and not keeping up with this year's returns.
