Tax Refund

By Terry Savage on April 05, 2022 | Wild Card

Hi Terry,
I have been a loyal listener whenever you are on the radio.
I mailed my Federal Income Tax into the IRS this year. It is going on 10 weeks and have not heard a thing. When I check message is always the same “maybe you entered wrong information etc” which I know I did not. There is no message that they need further info. Anything I can do like many others waiting for a refund? Thanks much, appreciate it.

If you’ve been a regular listener you know that I ALWAYS advise sending a paper return by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested!! And even better, sending it electronically.

Right now, unless you included a check (which will be quickly deposited), your return is sitting in a stack of paper returns that might not be processed for weeks, or even months! Forget about it. If you owe them money and didn’t send a check, they will find you quickly!!
