Marv's Neighbor Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 It seems to make a difference how you file. Been using Turbo Tax for over 10 years, and never had to wait more than a couple of weeks, including this past season. 1 Quote

File midweek all the time. It's the state that is slow. Yet. My Illinois refund is in my bank account as of this week... I filed same day as my son. AND I didn't realize if you owe, you can file early and have it debited on the tax deadline. If I would have known that, realized you can schedule the payment, I would have filed back on when the 5/17 was set. /wallbash I am slow on the uptake! re why - because I get paper check not direct deposit re slow on uptake - so am I! 1 Quote

Direct Deposit is there in under a week with Fed. State about 2 weeks. I would think with so little Snail🐌Mail now, you'd be more ripe for identity theft, etc... Going electronic seems actually safer with me since it's where the masses are! IMO... Quote

A refund is what you get. Anyway you should have had it long ago. Have you looked into it? Sure you're getting a refund? Quote

We have 2 children which we get the CTC. They said returns with CTC would be delayed do to the covid, short staff, stimulus etc. Gave a bunch of excuses, but did not expect it to be this long. 1 Quote

I have no idea if we have gotten our refund yet. I’m just glad we don’t have to pay! The freaky part is, my wife wanted a month in the NC mountains to celebrate her upcoming birthday that ends in a zero. I talked her down to three weeks. Our state and federal refunds come out to within $100 of what a three week rental house costs. Like a little birthday gift from the tax gods! `We’re not in a hurry for the money, but a nice bonus. We are scheduling friends and family to take turns coming to visit us in the 4 BR house. She will work the first week, then take two weeks off (she says, I’m skeptical but even part time would be cool!). 1 Quote

Regarding your refund, I don't know when you filed, but every single person I know that does not get child tax credit (that I have spoke to so far) hot their returns in a week or 2. We got a letter in march about it and said would receive it in 8-12 weeks. This upcoming Monday will be exactly 15 weeks. So was very frustrating since we usually get it in Feb every year. But better late than never I guess lol 1 Quote

Covid relief checks 💵 I got my return 4 days ago and I filed around March 10. got my state return Mar 15th then I got a Covid crash direct deposit on Mar 17th. and 3 and 1/2 months later the Fed Quote
Process Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 If you filed electronically, provided bank info, and there isn't a matching issue between the withholding you claimed and IRS records, you should have your refund within 3 weeks. In most cases you should have it within two. For those who had to wait a while, was there a Recovery Rebate Credit claimed on your return? That is new this year and could cause delays. Quote

gomper Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Filed April 2nd. Nothing. My tax guy literally told me " drop back ten yards and punt." He said they are understaffed and crushed with volume. Quote

Just wanted to mention regarding the bold.....When we originally filed Jan 27th, think was the following week we got message it was approved. The amount we were approved for differed from the amount we got recently. We received about $1,000 more than what it said back in Feb when approved. So not sure if that's the same as you're talking about or not, but have no idea why we got that amount extra besides maybe because they delay was so long? No other reason we can think of at all. Anyways....was just curious if recovery rebate credit you spoke of is why? Quote

Brennan Huff Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 I’ve yet to receive mine yet either. But some random guy on Facebook said that I should get it by the end of August. So I’m pretty excited about that 2 Quote
