This is interesting. I was just told 3 hours ago by an IRS staff I reached on the 800 number that those who filed IS whose actual tax returns have been delayed in processing will receive their portion of the stimulus once their IS form is filed and they are thinking this may be done within the next 4 weeks. She said that if I don’t here anything or any updates on the check your refund site, then to call back the week of 8/3 and they should have updated information as they have more staff working now but all staff are scheduled to return 7/31. She said IS is their top priority right now and they are completing forms in the order received so if u you filed 2/25 versus 3/25 then obviously 2/25 will be completed first. I was unable to file until 3/27 due to not having all my W2’s and she said that I have been assigned a case worker which she stated is good news as then she knows it is being worked on, so if you filed before 3/27 you should potentially be receiving your refund and/or stimulus payment soon. Now this is according to this IRS agent so take it with a grain of salt as it seems each IRS staff is giving out different info. And she honestly said, they are getting updates day by day so no staff truly knows what the absolute correct answer is.
