IRS AND REFUND PROCESSING

[alanealive]

I OVERPAID ON MY 2024 QUARTERLY ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENTS TO BOTH IRS AND STATE OF Maryland. SO I AM OWED A REFUND FROM EACH OF THEM. I KEEP HEARING ON RADIO THAT DUE TO REDUCTION IN STAFF AT IRS NOW TAX RETURN REFUNDS COULD BE DELAYED! IS THERE ANY TRUTH TO THAT? DOES ANYONE HERE READING WORK AT THE IRS? Thanks

As long as you entered your estimated payments in your return, there should be no delay. ‌Most refunds from e-filed returns are processed in about 21 days, although some returns take more time to review. ‌You can check the status of your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site.

• You'll need your Social Security number or ITIN, filing status, and the exact amount of your refund to check your status. You'll find this on the first screen after you sign in to TurboTax.
• If you mailed your return, wait 4 weeks after mailing your return before using the tool.

If it's been over 21 days since your e-filed return was accepted, you can call the IRS to check on your refund status.

Go here to track your state refund.
