#1 Confirmed, although the logjam appears to be breaking. I filed a 1040 for someone on April 2nd; the money just moved this past Friday.

Oh - and if you have to mail anything to the IRS, DO NOT send it to Kansas City! They're still a few months behind from the 2+ million letters they let build up during the Great Corona Virus Panic of 2020.

#2 There's another one I might look into. Some high school buddies said they e-filed in early to mid-February and haven't gotten their refund as of last week. I offered to look into it and I'm waiting for them to get back to me.

#4 unfortunately, there is a considerable potential for fraud in this and the IRS has to invest time and effort to prevent it

#5 It is my understanding that they have been overwhelmed.Stimulus checks and so on. Fellow gets his tax refund but not his stimulus because they need more information.

#6 Pandemic stimulus check processing the past year was not something they are normally not staffed for. So that was a huge drain on efficiency.

Now Bite Me wants to raise taxes which means rewriting tax tables on and on and on when they are already way behind on everything else.

Biden is an idiot.
