IRS refund — still waiting!

By Terry Savage on October 31, 2021 | Wild Card

The IRS accepted my 2020 Tax Return in February. I still have not received my refund, and the only information that I can get out of the IRS is that they received it but have not yet processed it. What can I do to find out what’s going on with my refund?

Really, there’s nothing you can do after you check the “where’s my refund” page at IRS.gov. They are so far behind on these refunds. I’ll ask again for an estimate of when they should all be sent out. At least you’re earning 3%interest on the refund, back to April. But if you meant to useit to pay down a 19% credit card balance, that’s small consolation!
