Ask Terry Questions Tax return — still waiting

Tax return — still waiting

By Terry Savage on May 22, 2021 | Wild Card

My son filed his return electronically on Mar 15, 2021. The return was accepted by the IRS. The state of IL and AZ have paid his return. IRS has done nothing. We continually check the app but it only says they are still processing. They all say if it has been more then 21 days to call the IRS, but it’s all automated without a real person. He did have unemployment and was filed before they added the tax credit. Should he still do nothing or should he file a amended return?

Terry Says

Have patience. They are reviewing those returns to refund the taxes paid on the first $10,200 of unemployment benefits. So it will take a while longer!
