2019 tax refund
Hello Terry,
Thank you for all of the information you provide! I listen to you on WGN radio too. I know you have mentioned the IRS is very behind on processing returns, but that is my question. I filed my 2019 paper tax return and it was received by the IRS on 2/9/21. I keep checking my online IRS.gov account and the information is still not available..and I have not seed the refund yet. My 2020 return was file last week and that is updated. Can you help? Did it get lost? Thank you!!

Well, wait. The Deadline for your 2019 return was last July! You didn’t file it until THIS FEBRUARY!! Sorry, but your return is at the bottom of a big stack of returns. The IRS is VERY busy these days. I’m guessing you won’t hear anything until late summer of 2021.
Next time file ON TIME> Next time file ELECTRONICALLY. (There is always free electronic filing help at www.IRS.gov/freefile.)
