- The IRS is holding 29 million tax returns for manual processing, delaying tax refunds for many Americans, according to the National Taxpayer Advocate Service, an independent arm of the tax agency that looks out for consumers' interest. Some taxpayers are fretting on social media about weeks of waiting for their money. CBS News Moneywatch reporter Aimee Picchi joins CBSN AM to talk about the delays.

They can be as slow as they want. But if you owe, they want it now!!
Exactly
true when you file
waited till my refund was a month late to send a letter saying they needed more information
That is so True!❤️
Never fails
We need to charge them penalties and interest for delaying our money.
Exactly
They will
They actually do pay interest if they owe you and it takes them time to issue. It’s pennies, but they do.
Didnt they pay us a lil extra for making sure we sent in papers or efiled ahead of a certain date last year? gonna try call for efile pin for reason but think if gonna take long to get an answer i might as well file and mail and by chance get paid by end of year if they backlogged that much and stil gotta pay to anyone who still wait for 2019 fund any lol. and all this is cause pandemic which has been chaos since it started,
Agreed. We should definitely get interest.
I filed mine electronically in February and still NOTHING - "where's my refund tool" has no info and no one at the IRS to contact. Arrggghhh!
yep me too..still waiting in may
Download the tool via the app store the IRS website couldn't find mine either but the tool at least says in processing.
@@shantellamar8154 mine has said that for almost 3 months
Same here. I filed electronically 7 weeks ago and I get the same thing when I check for the status of my refund. If I owed them, they would not want to wait.
same
If I ever owe the IRS, on the due date imma tell em “Your payment is still processing. Check back in 8-10 weeks.” ✌🏼
Nook not 8 - 10 weeks 8 to 10 months
Lol right
Yes!!!!😂👏👏👏
Let me know how that works out for ya bud
If only we could, right?
This situation is despicable. As usual, lower-income working families get the biggest delays. SMH
Mine is taking a long time.
I still have yet to receive mine since filing at the end of February. 😢
@@aprilrain9051 same i filed on the 8th of Feb and im supposed to be getting mire than $15k this year😕
It’s my money and I want it NOW!!!
Call JG wentworth 877 cash now
🤭🤣😂NOW!!!!
Do you have a structured settlement?
Hahahahahaha! 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂Right!
We should be allowed to sue the government for unpaid interest in this case. Returns are essentially 0% loans to the government.
They do pay interest . . . not much, but they do pay interest if they fall behind.
No return within 30 days..it goes to collections.
@@maryleedeferrari7020 well they fell behind
This is ridiculous! They're never late letting anyone know what they're owed, smdh
💯 facts! 😤
And will charge you a high interest rate until you pay them back smh
No ni no
I Agree
Nope.
How are they sending out money in may & July, & alot of us hasn't even gotten our fed tax refund from filing in Feb & March? WTF is the Real issue?
been waiting since March 18th...They keep.giving out stimulus money, unemployment boosts..I need the money that is owed back to me..
Yea something just ain't right.
Facts
Been waiting for a long time now! And so far nothing!
I know..They keep giving more unemployment
so people can stay home instead of work..More stimulus but they need to be working on giving us our own money back.
I filed early on Feb 12th, and had been waiting since then. Honestly I just put it out of my head and had accepted the idea that I might not get it back at all this year, but it was actually deposited into my account on Monday, so four days ago. I hope everyone else starts receiving theirs soon🤞🏻
Can you show me Proof please ?
Congratulations
Did your status change on the where's my refund app, or did the money just get deposited?
@@asiahenry7798 yes that's what I need to know I filed March 18th so hoping to receive before my birthday June 21st
Funny how life works, I wish I could get to the point where my man would stop Hounding me about it cuz I certainly have made peace with it
Abolish the IRS, Fairtax is the way to go! No more income or property tax, sales tax only!
Exactly
I agree!! We have to come together as people and demand this!
We need a new service that can handle our monies faster! If you owe them they want there's asap!
Dear IRS. AIN'T THAT MUCH DAM PROCESSING IN THE WORLD !
Lmaoo
When you owe them money, or they think you owe them money it's a different deal. They want what's due them now and interest and penalties are adding up quick! Confiscation of your property is eminent!
IRS: Give me my money NOW!
Me: You still owe me from last year...
I don’t owe them anything so this statement is wrong
@@TheMeazy1 🤔😳
@@Trizmonsta_of_Philly The post is about how the IRS is holding up our tax returns. They don't really care that we need the money. They give no reason. They do not answer your request for information. We are in the dark as to where our money is and when we might get it. On the other hand. (This is the Contrast) When they owe us money they want it right now, today! "Interest and penalties are piling up!" "We will seize your property!" I'm here to tell you that they are scary relentless coming after us when they think we owe them money.
@@Trizmonsta_of_Philly it was a joke lol not directed forwards you... I didn’t even make that comment and I know lol
"IT'S MY MONEY AND I NEED IT NOW✊
I filed electronically almost 2 months ago and I'm still waiting!!!

@@katriaceswingler1680 it's crazy because when they are owed they want the payment immediately!!! But when they owe us we have to wait months
Myself also
@@michellestewart9948 all I keep getting is my refund is still being processed and a date will come available
I filed the first day possible and I'm still waiting
10 weeks today and still processing
Same I filed 03/02/2021 and today is 05/31 basically June 1st and I’m already poor
Good luck there bro I feel the pain
Not if you owe money, there was no backlog paying tax debt with refunds owed.
Your right I got mine in 5 days. I owed 2000
Aren't they still suspending penalties
@@godisblackmatter7844 nope, not from every conversation that I've had with them. They've just offered a payment plan and told me any refunds I may be entitled to will go to whatever owed first.
I have no sympathy for them. They won't explain anything. They just say, "Sorry, we know nothing."
Wish we could say the same when they tell us we owe them!
That’s what our politicians told them to say
I’m at 10 weeks today. My family is suffering, we need that return so bad. I’m walking back and forth to two jobs.
Still waiting for 3rd stimulus
I filed electronically!! Still nothin been almost two months now!!!!
Me too
Call them I called them and I got it 2 weeks later not sure if calling them kinda pushed mine up their list
Mine too I've been waiting 2 months
Me 3
What number to call
I've pretty much given up on getting my tax returns. I filed electronically, it really doesn't matter. Our government is so broken that they can't even do a basic function like taxe return.
sadly true
I started to do mine electronically but the amount of highly personal information TurboTax requires is unacceptable to me. They wanted the names, my user name and password for all my banks with the information from every single box on those 1099 forms. When you file on paper, they just want the amounts and don't ask which bank, how many years you were getting the money, is it this or is it that. Am tempted to write to congress about how they are collecting and saving our most personal data. Once I got to the end of the income section, I had had it and stopped using it, then I immediately changed all the passwords to my accounts. How easy would it be for someone to get ahold of all that information and clean you right out?
Funny, they have no problens fibding and issuing millions of $$$$ into the pockets if Illegal Aliens while AMERICAN CITIZENS whose hard earned $$$ was with held, are shoved off into the ditch.
Universe please release everyone's money right now 💯
Hey Jackie
When we owe taxes it’s immediately we have to pay or it’s penalties
When they owe us we have to wait because their backed up 🤣
IRS is a joke
Exactly right! That's why you always structure your income tax withholding amount so that you owe them, instead of the other way around. I usually have it so I end up owing around a hundred bucks at the end of the year. Then I don't pay it until April 14th. It takes a little preplanning, but to me it's worth it.
they should pay with interest
The entire US GOVERNMENT is a joke
I did mine through H&R Block and I've been waiting since the 23rd of February for my return
Used H&R Block as well and have for over 10 yrs. Never had any issues until this year. Filed March 7th and still not processed.
filed with turbotax efile on 2/19....still waiting
@@orlaspring363 Did TurboTax ask you if you had insurance all year? I used them last year and because their program didn't ask that question my return got sent to the errors division. It took 9 months of literally calling them every day, and them hanging up on me and getting the taxpayer advocate on them to finally get my money. This year I used taxslayer and got my refund within 3 weeks. You may be better off filing an amended return using taxslayer it will probably be faster than waiting for the irs to figure out what the error was.
Me to H N R worst 😤
Same here filed mine feb 22. Still nothing
I filed electrically on February 17 and I was able to get ahold to a person through the irs. This was some time last month, I was told to wait 10 weeks from the day I filed. It’s been 10 weeks and still seeing processing on my status 🤦🏾♀️
I filed around the same time and I’m still waiting too.
@@Ek_Ahau I filed 2/22 and my transcript updated today finally... hopefully you see an update tomorrow
Me as well. Funny, millions of $$$$ are being doled out into the pockets if Illegal Aliens while AMERICAN CITIZENS whose hard earned $$$ was with held, are shoved off into the ditch.
I filed a few days before Feb 12. It's May 2 and it still say still being processed and a date will be given when available 🤦🏾♀️.
Same
Same as of 5/20/21
I sent an email to the commissioner of the Treasury Dept. I'm a non-filer, but had to file to get 2 stimulus payments. These should have separate from the regular tax forms. A business that hides paperwork in trailers is breaking laws. A business that doesn't answer phones shouldn't be! If I didn't answer my phones, I would be called out. They could use the phone service that keeps your place, but gives a call back. I bet the employees have filed and received their money.
Why are they looking for someone to get angry cause it’s gonna happen if you don’t send it out now.
I’ve been waiting 10 weeks and it says still processing 😭😤
I called the IRS and spoke with an IRS representative who told me that I needed to verify my identity and that's why it was still in the processing status. I went ahead and verified my identity with him over the phone. He said my income tax refund could take up to an additional 9 weeks. But he said that is very unlikely it will more than likely be sooner. I sure do hope so. Anyways, you might want to call the irs and find out what's the problem.
We filed 10 weeks ago as well, still processing. When we called they told us they were understaffed due to covid. Who knows the real reason?
@@Canine_Cowboy what did you use for the tax refund filing? I can be of assistance if you don’t mind
@@karly7106 they have been telling everyone that. They messed up somewhere and using that as an excuse.
I’ve been waiting 53 weeks for my 2019 refund of over 1500.00 and they have told me for almost a year it is in processing. They show they received it in March 2019 but it is on somebody’s desk. Craziness!!!
Filed at the end of February. I’ve been waiting 9 weeks
I'm just blows me away by the fact it is almost may and they are still working on backlog. At this pace if you filed in March you won't get your refund until 2022
Lol, it's all excuses. I filed 3 years last year because I did not owe. They lost one return, paid one return and are still processing the third. It's been 6 months...
Filed March 7th and still not processed yet 😒
@@ashleyrobinette2013 I filled a day after you and I check the mobile app everyday and it says it's still processing and a date will be given when available! 🤦♀️
If anyone has been through an IRS audit you will never put your faith in the feds ever again.
For sure! The woman in charge of my audit was a total B****...took a year to resolve. The company I used to file my taxes put the wrong SS# on my return and it really was a nightmare to straighten out. A YEAR...
I wonder if the IRS workers have to wait, like the rest of us in society, to get their refunds?? 🤔 if so maybe that will help them hustle up....
They probably got theirs first!
@@michaelina84921 No they didn't..as they are tax payers just like you, Only they can be fired if they file late or even owe..so yeah their treated super special smh
Yea Holly..yours very truly Alfonso Cantu
BS. I filed electronically and still havent got mine. Its been 2 months. I wonder how much interest I would have to pay the IRS if I owed them money? But they want us to be patient.
100 % facts
Love it when the people speak♑
💯 😤
I did hear them say we would get interest paid to us for waiting. Apparently they did it last year.
All lies most people filed electronically and we are still waiting.
Efiler with no errors and I've been waiting 7 weeks. I got my state within the same week I filed.
What's funny is I didn't even get the 2 last stimulus checks which I was eligible for now to want to hold on my refund this is America
You get the second one when you file your return and perhaps even the first one.
Me too
@Mike Oliver hey Mike so what’s the number? I need to file a complaint aswell.
I did not get my last two stimulus either. I am 52 years old and scraping by.
I want my taxes refund
It’s not only paper returns. I filed electronically. The excuses are ridiculous.
I see alot of comments of people that are waiting for there refunds, I hope you get yours soon. I filed my 2016 tax refund on December 27 2019 at 11:48 am. I have received a letter to verify my I'd and I passed. I'm still waiting for that $6063.00 check. Also I filed my 2020 refund on February 20 2021 on the irs website. I'm still waiting on that plus my $1400.00 stimulus check. So I hope I get interest on both my checks because I deserve it. I have worked hard all my life and lived by the rules. And they cant seem to get there crap together over a glorified flu ( covid-19) so there's a backlog???? Come on folks they are shady creatures ,we need to stand up and march,protest whatever we need to do to get our money back.
I filed electronically and still waiting been waiting since February smh they lying and making excuses atp
Been over 10 weeks for me now. I was accepted feb 18th. Still “in processing”
Same here. Filed with TurboTax back in the beginning of February, and now they want their $140 that is supposed to be taken out of my refund because the IRS taking too long.
same
I filed electronically and I have been waiting for nine weeks.
Same here 😩😩😩
E filed on Feb 6th, still waiting
Thought I was the only one. I sent papers early March. Still waiting.
Filed electronically and been waiting since 02/14
I haven't filed yet. Guess I get to wait until the end of summer to get any refund I might get.
I tired of waiting, just thankful to God I still have a job to support my kids. Don't really care anymore, don't even care to check "Where's my Refund" a waste of time. I have no time to be wasting with these people. My number one priority is to take care of my kids stomach, and whatever bills I gotta pay. It'll come one day
Haven't gotten my 2019, or 2020 returns which also means I haven't gotten the last two stimulus payments either. Thanks US government for the "emergency help". It really made a difference in my life. Smh
Iam with you, same here🤨😕
I called today and when I finally get through the lady tells me that I have an error on my taxes. She said she doesn’t need any additional information but it just shows an error. So she tells me i have to wait ten weeks from the date they received it in order to receive my refund or send additional information. Thats almost June. Man I thought my tax preparer messed up but she didn’t after I called her and she over it went me. So I know now it’s the IRS that’s the problem.
I’m in the errors department also and no one can tell me an error.... I have 2019 and 2020 stuck there! it’s crazy!
What wrong with the irs I have been calling them almost one year now about my. 2019 tax return and even now they dont send me sent my money to me people should sued them for there money.
Ya'll need to call the taxpayer advocate asap! Did any of you use turbotax?
@@littleredhen3354 I used TurboTax last year but this year switched to HRBlock. I called them and they couldn’t tell me the problem. I finally got mail from them saying they need me to send them a copy because my efiled ones didn’t go through... when I had submitted both returns they had accepted them. So still nothing on 2019 or 2020 for me and none of the stimulus money...
@@hollyburns7078 If I was you I'd get a copy of your form 1095-b proof of insurance coverage from whoever you had your health insurance with for both 2019 and 2020 and send it to the IRS errors division 324 25th st Ogden Utah 84401. I can almost guarantee you they are trying to charge you the penalty for not having insurance coverage, at least for the 2019 return because TurboTax did not include that question in their software and that's exactly why my refund was delayed 9 months.
Been waiting since February. I was due to get all my stimulus and taxes paid back to me... 😡😡😡
Stimulus is messing you up
They made me go out of my way to file a tax return just to get my second stimulus check. My older retired neighbor's had to go and pay H&R Block to fill out a return to get their second stimulus check, so they each ended up getting $550 each instead of $600. I have also been waiting since February. Funny thing is a check came in the mail for my 3rd stimulus payment last week.
Same with me. I had to pay taxes but I didn't get a stimulus so I'm suppose to get a little. I did mine in Feb.
same
Both of my stimulus checks are still being processed...as well as my taxes which I filed them in February 😡😡🤨
Ditto! My accountant filed mine over 6 weeks ago and I keep getting Being Processed when I check. Why? I am a disabled and retired veteran!
The IRS going to shut down but you can put these kids on the football field and run down the basketball court without masks on though get in there and do y'all job‼️

I filed March 8th electronically with TurboTax and im still waiting. The ppl who are facing this problem are the ones who need this the most. Next time I owe taxes n they want their money im gonna tell them its processing for 4 months. See how they like it. I'll bet they won't. I understand they could be swamped but they should've prepared for this. Its not like they didnt know they had a backlog.
Doesn't matter if filed online or in paper. People hit audits under certain conditions. Happens every year. I've been hit twice in past 20 years and I file electronic. Best thing is you get interest on your return amount for any time beyond the filing date.
What is the interest rate.
@@heatherrich7236 A google search days they are paying about 5 percent but this amount changes every quarter and that interest is also taxable for the next year.
I'm still waiting on my refund from last year. And its no where to be found and they don't want me to refile either

Something needs to be done about this messy mess
When you own money. Somehow they seem to to find out very quickly and they are right on top of it and they the irs has no mercy and they need their money NOW!!!!!! No delays they are coming to get the money.
I filed electronically on Feb. 12th claiming my Economic recovery rebate 2nd round which I never received. To date nothing, and no one at the IRS can give me an answer. This sucks!
I filed electronically and I hVe been waiting this makes 9 weeks
Everyone at the IRS needs to be fired
I demand interest! lol
Exactly! Now,if we owed the IRS and were LATE would they forego penalties? Not a chance.🙄
This is why you don't overpay in the first place. Always owe a few bucks at the end of the year, and do the work to make your money work for you.
If you're owed a refund and the irs held up your tax return, you will get interest on your refund. Thing is, you have to pay taxes on the interest.
@@JeremyRemele congrats, not everyone is like you 🤷♂️
I got 84 dollars interest for my 17 return I filed last year.
Yea this is me, Filed Feb 19. called a few weeks ago, they said its going to be at LEAST 10 weeks before I should think about calling again. This does not mean I will get my refund in 10 weeks. Just don't call us, and we wont call you. lol. But I can understand that the people working at the IRS are just people. They were affected by the pandemic same as the rest of us. It sucks but we are all in this together. It is very hard when you really need the money but I try to cut those hard working people some slack rather than rage against the machine.
Jeez, the postage alone would be enough to file electronically. When I was filing, I used TurboTax for years. Having a human process the return is as cumbersome as doing it by hand and mailing it in.
I filed electronically 11 weeks ago no errors but went into the errors department they didn't need me to resolve this so-called error they told me they need an additional 8 weeks even though there's nothing wrong with my return no new children new new job no new address this is BS
I filed on Feb 17 and I still haven't got mine yet either. It's been 10 wks and when I called the irs the lady said it's going to be a even longer wait because I received unemployment and the law was changed and made the first 10,200 tax free so it's alot of people who received unemployment and that's what the hold up is they have to go through every one of them manually . it going to be a long wait .
Of course the law is going to change. 😲😲😲
Well I hope that's true
@@anniesue4456 Guess you haven't been updated on the unemployment tax break
What if you didn't file any unemployment? Would it still be held up for you, by chance?
We filed end of Febuary and it's been processing ever since. I downloaded the app and check it every Wednesday. This is beyond frustrating.
same
What about people who filed electronically and are still waiting for their tax refunds. People who have none of these options.
I file electronically every year and the last 2yrs they have delayed my return for months on end. Even though nothing has changed. I had manual review 2yrs now in a row. You’d think they see that my information is correct.
Seriously let’s charge a late fee, let’s audit the irs, let’s hold them accountable, let’s legally pull our money from their accounts… anything they will do to us in a heartbeat should be an equal punishment/penalty for them.
Can they please hurry up they are taking why to long I need to pay for my damn bill what is wrong with these people we are all hurting 😔
That's huge!
Thank you for the break down of the tax hold-up, but my first tax return was done incorrectly and I had to amend it, will my taxes be at the bottom of the stack of taxes?
Thanks
This really helped me put my mind at ease!! At least I know where I stand and for how long. Thank you for the update. Very helpful!!
I filed electronically with direct deposit option back in end of January. I'm disabled & make under the income limit to qualify for stimulus payments. Yet I'm getting nothing. I didn't get my 2nd or 3rd stimulus payments. I claimed my 2nd stimulus payment in taxes.
IRS took 2mths to process my taxes first supposedly due to computer glitch my taxes were lost. Then when processed my 2020 tax return which was only the 2nd stimulus payment was changed to 0!!!
My 3rd stimulus payment was also listed under IRS as 0!!!
I'm listed as getting nothing
I check status daily & call IRS endlessly for months. I get absolutely no where with no answers. When I finally can get through to their phone service, I'm given every excuse for delay but no help or resolutions. No one can say why I'm listed as not being qualified for stimulus payments or haven't received it either. My only option is to just keep waiting & maybe someday someone will get around to fixing the error.
I'm being told I might have to wait to claim both 2nd & 3rd stimulus payments on my 2021 taxes! Is the IRS serious?! It's been a complete nightmare.
I was depending on this extra money for medical care & medical bills. I'm just so disgusted & disheartened
I got my state in week and tax return come on
We amended our 2018 return and are supposed to be getting back quite a chunk of change. It's been over 12 months and we can't find out anything from the feds. We sent it certified mail twice and still haven't heard anything. But believe me they are quick to tell you when uou owe them money and you better pay or they add interest. Pathetic entity to say the least!
11 weeks now and I filed electronically. It's ridiculous that it's not first come first serve to get your refunds. I know people who file.2 weeks ago and have received their return.

3 weeks later and still no refund. I did get a letter saying they corrected a mistake and now I get $1200 less. Something about my dependents. I don’t have any dependents. The letter also said it would be 4-6 more weeks before I would get my money. I have it going onto my debit card so I don’t understand the wait. Also I filed electronically using TaxAct
I filed in late April and it’s now Mid June and still no money. Come on IRS. Get it together 😡
I filed in March…Still waiting.
Holy smokes. Now that’s crazy!!!!
Of course. Where did stimulus money come from? Next it will be our retirement and pensions funds being delayed.
I’m still waiting on last year to refund that I mailed in
No money no food no job no business
Even if you somehow manage to get through to actually be able to speak to someone know that the final verdict is A NINE TO TEN WEEK WAIT & IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU E-FILED OR IF THEY SENT LETTERS OUT TELLING YOU THAT IT'S ON THE WAY & SOME WILL EVEN BE RANDOMLY SELECTED LIKE I WAS FOR VERIFICATION WHICH CAN CREATE A DELAY BECAUSE THE VERIFICATION PHONE LINES ARE SUBJECT TO BE DOWN SO STAY PATIENT & KEEP TRYING!!!
How do they handle verification? Do they send you a letter? I think ours is being held up by a verification too.
How to get through to the IRS? Call and click the option to arrange payment, switcharoo and ask questions about your refund. I assure you there is no wait 🙂
Did the IRS tell you anything useful? Other comments say they were told to wait another 10 weeks and given no information.
I filed electronically. In March still haven’t heard a thing
As much as I want to give them the benefit of the doubt...THIS IS WHAT WORRIES ME ABOUT GOVT assistance/programs. Competent and timely people to OPERATE IT!!
Thought it was just me
I filed February 22 still no refund for all these years I never had this issue I haven't even gotten a letter from the IRS I'm lost over here what is going on ..
Same here never had a problem until now. No letter from the IRS or nothing..This is crazy...
Call around 6:30 PM your local time & you will get through. My return has been processing since accepted Feb 27 Hopefully in another week my return will finish processing.
i file mine the 27th as well basically 9 weeks are we getting an update of date by next week on the irs website refund taxs? i got all 3 stimulus check as well
Same
Any update?
The irs absolutely sucks. I have been waiting for my 2019 taxes, 2nd, 3rd stimulus checks, and in three days it will be 10wks since I filed my 2020 return. They did however garnish my 2018 tax return for student longs real quick. I was told today that I was sent to an errors department for my 2020 return when I asked what they error was the representative had no answer. This is bs. I also reached out to a tax advocate was told to amend my 2019 tax return. Sent all the documents over 6months ago and still noting but another 60 day waiting period.
They got their nerve!!! When u owe them they taking everything u have!! Garnish wages take property and your first born child!!! But when we need our money nope we have to wait wait wait !!! They don't give a F@##
Because a *certain idiot in charge of the government* did *NOT* think IRS workers were essential. I tried submitting online but there was a problem with identity validation and had to submit via paper. It took a total of *6 months* and got it resolved with the Tax Payer Advocate service.
Trump
Trump is no longer in office.
Makes no sense they did that to me and sent the stimulus money to my account kinda defeats the whole validation notion they sent 2000 dollars but to a account they want to prove is me but not my tax money 🤔
Time to open the country starting with federal government offices. I want my tax refund from 2017. I need a consult and to be able to visit a Social Security office. I can not get a pension offset problem solved without a copy of how I signed for Social Security. I am unable to obtain a copy of how I requested benefits at the time of my SS retirement. I am unable to get an appointment by phone they claim it is not their problem. This affects a pension offset on my pension earnings and my federal pension is now requesting me to make up an overpayment error. Open the federal offices for services to the public. I need my government services and so do many others.
Still don’t have my 2019 returns and have lost out on the last two stimulus checks as a result.
Were you one one of the scammers filing for pandemic benefits?? Because it’s the delinquent 2019 scammers that’s causing the backlog, and I hope that they get hefty tax fines and audited!
@@royaltheoneroyalone3498 what kind of comment is this how could you say that to a random person? Super Weirdos
@@vonmadeit7395 You must be scamming too
Same here. Someone used my son’s social and claimed him before I filed. I was forced to mail my taxes. I haven’t received my 2019 or 2020 tax return and missed two stimulus checks. It sucks because it feels like the fraud is getting away with it.
