Re: How quickly did you receive your 2020 tax refund?
Efiles accepted 2/18. State refund deposited 3/3, fed 3/10.
Re: How quickly did you receive your 2020 tax refund?
CardinalRule, if it makes you feel any better, we filed on 2/12, return was accepted 2/14, and Where's My Refund still says "Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available."
I did get my California refund, and Get My Payment has our stimulus payment scheduled for 3/17, but no sign of the federal refund, either the direct deposit or paper I-bonds.

Ten days from Fed e-file accepted until the refund posted in our online account.

The nightly news tonight mentioned that the IRS has not processed 6.7 million tax returns, as it's dealing with the stimulus checks, staffing, and outdated IT systems.

Mailed on 3/1. No refund yet. I claim an infrequent deduction and the IRS guidance says to include a statement attached that explains it. I haven't found a way to get FreeTaxUSA to attach a statement; otherwise, I would file electronically. If there is a way to do that, or a different free provider, please let me know.

Re: How quickly did you receive your 2020 tax refund?
I filed a total of 5 returns ( ours and some family members) - all were filed between 2/13 -2/20 all refunds received except one of the first filed? Has the same message "return is still being processed" it was one of the simplest and earliest ones to be files?

E-Filed Saturday 2/20, the return was accepted with an hour, and I received my refund 3/1 for over 17k. I was surprised how fast it arrived given the larger amount.

3/13 Efiled via OLT.com (Saturday night)
3/19 Federal refund became visible in CU account as pending, 3/24 post date. IRS online tool still shows “return received” as of this moment. Still not showing “refund approved”
State online tool briefly showed “return received” but now displaying a message that it is unavailable until 3/24.

Accountant filed on 3/4/20.
Received $1,400 IRS Stimulus on 3/18/20.
Received tax refund on 3/19/20.
Processing the stimulus payments may have delayed the payment of income tax refunds.

Re: How quickly did you receive your 2020 tax refund?
E-filed on 2/19. Received letter from IRS in the mail today saying they are holding our refund until they finish reviewing our return.
Letter said no action needed at this time, and that we shouldn't contact them until after 60 days. The notice date was a week into the future (March 29, 2021). IRS Where's my Refund tool has said your return is being processed since we filed. The only unusual thing I can think of is that we got married last year and so the first time filing MFJ for us, and one of us never received the stimulus checks last year so we claimed it on the tax return, and perhaps they are taking extra steps to verify it? Has anyone else received a similar letter before?

I got one a few years ago. They failed to notice a discrepancy of one dollar, so I had to write this letter (they required mail response):venus_06 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 12:05 pm E-filed on 2/19.

To Whom It May Concern,
I disagree with the proposed changes to my 2017 Form 1040 tax return. The proposed changes assert that I failed to report $24,055 of 2017 income from securities. This is incorrect.
I have attached excerpts from my 2017 tax return, in which I reported income from securities in the amount of $24,056. Please note that this is one dollar higher than the amount in dispute by your department, and thus may be the reason for the discrepancy. The exact amount, as displayed on my 2017 Form 1099-B from E-TRADE, is $24,055.51.
Had to wait another 30-60 days for their response, which essentially said "Okay, fine. we'll leave you alone."
Re: How quickly did you receive your 2020 tax refund?
E-Filed on 03/21 through FreeTaxUSA. Tax Return has still not been accepted. Historically (even 2020), the return was accepted on the same day. I wonder if its just the backlog or something else.

When I efiled, turbotax estimated less than 21 days (and so did irs.gov site). The refund arrived after 19.

Re: How quickly did you receive your 2020 tax refund?
What refund?
Usually, I never ever give the government an interest free loan, usually neither receiving a refund nor owing a payment. However, we did a major old 401K to ROTH IRA rollover, so we ended up owing a large tax bill. The rollover also pushed us above the stimulus cut off, so no third check from Uncle Sam.

Re: How quickly did you receive your 2020 tax refund?
E-filed on Feb. 19 with TurboTax; accepted by IRS later the same day. Still no refund. IRS web site says they have our return. I e-filed my father's income tax with TurboTax a few days later and he has already received his refund. Our refund is big this year because my wife retired half-way through the year and she always under withholds, so I have my pension set for 50% withholding. I wonder if the IRS has flagged our tax submission for special review because our income is down this year but our withholding is level, so IRS may think we are under-reporting our income.
Part of the problem is that there were no RMDs for 2020. If there were RMDs, I could have adjusted my wife's RMD withholding to hit the right number. For 2021, with RMDs back in the picture, I can adjust my wife's RMD withholding so our overall withholding comes out very close to the right number.
Edited April 26 - Still no refund. I'm guessing we are flagged for human review and there aren't enough humans available.
