IRS TAX REFUND
Good Afternoon Terry,
I hope these challenging times find you well and healthy.
I must share that I truly enjoy your newsletters and appearances on WGN. You are truly a classy and knowledgeable woman. I love how you are able to put information in perspective with simple, layman terms. I admire and respect you a great deal. I trust you which is a rare commodity these days. You are calm and level headed.
This is my first time reaching out for information.
On March 12th, I electronically submitted my tax forms which I have done for years. I usually receive my refund within a week to ten days. To date, I haven’t received it. I keep checking the website which only states it’s “in process”. Tried calling to no avail. Should I be concerned? Logically, I feel it’s due to the WFH status. The IRS has extended filing and hopefully are just short handed and behind.
Good News: Received my IL State Refund and my Economic Impact Payment.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
I apologize if this was already covered.
Stay safe!
With sincere appreciation for your time,

Wow, this is the nicest request for info that I have received — and I’ve been swamped!
You’re correct in guessing that the refunds on returns filed in March have been delayed. That was just when everyone from the IRS was sent home due to the virus. It will take them a while to catch up.
And it appears you did not include direct deposit info, so you will have to wait until they mail a check, which could take as long as another month. And, if you qualify for a stimulus payment, look for that payment in the mail as well — although they won’t come in the same check.
Thanks for watching, and for all those nice words!
