I started to do mine electronically but the amount of highly personal information TurboTax requires is unacceptable to me.

When you file on paper, they just want the amounts and don't ask which bank, how many years you were getting the money, is it this or is it that. Am tempted to write to congress about how they are collecting and saving our most personal data. Once I got to the end of the income section, I had had it and stopped using it, then I immediately changed all the passwords to my accounts. How easy would it be for someone to get ahold of all that information and clean you right out?

Of course the law is going to change. 😲😲😲

What if you didn't file any unemployment? Would it still be held up for you, by chance?

[@pab1381]

I filed March 8th electronically with TurboTax and im still waiting. The ppl who are facing this problem are the ones who need this the most. Next time I owe taxes n they want their money im gonna tell them its processing for 4 months. See how they like it. I'll bet they won't. I understand they could be swamped but they should've prepared for this. Its not like they didnt know they had a backlog.

I filed electronically on Feb. 12th claiming my Economic recovery rebate 2nd round which I never received. To date nothing, and no one at the IRS can give me an answer. This sucks!

[@vidyaparthasarathy9435]

I have filed electronically every year, paid every year and the one year I get money back they are not giving it to me. 3 months and counting. I have no kids nothing. There is absolutely no excuse to why my return shows still processing 3 months later

Ditto! My accountant filed mine over 6 weeks ago and I keep getting Being Processed when I check. Why? I am a disabled and retired veteran!

Exactly! Now,if we owed the IRS and were LATE would they forego penalties? Not a chance.🙄

This is why you don't overpay in the first place. Always owe a few bucks at the end of the year, and do the work to make your money work for you.

[@elizabethcalef7202]

If you're owed a refund and the irs held up your tax return, you will get interest on your refund. Thing is, you have to pay taxes on the interest.

[@carolhudson1732]

I filed electronically with direct deposit option back in end of January. I'm disabled & make under the income limit to qualify for stimulus payments. Yet I'm getting nothing. I didn't get my 2nd or 3rd stimulus payments. I claimed my 2nd stimulus payment in taxes. IRS took 2mths to process my taxes first supposedly due to computer glitch my taxes were lost. Then when processed my 2020 tax return which was only the 2nd stimulus payment was changed to 0!!! My 3rd stimulus payment was also listed under IRS as 0!!! I'm listed as getting nothing I check status daily & call IRS endlessly for months. I get absolutely no where with no answers. When I finally can get through to their phone service, I'm given every excuse for delay but no help or resolutions. No one can say why I'm listed as not being qualified for stimulus payments or haven't received it either. My only option is to just keep waiting & maybe someday someone will get around to fixing the error. I'm being told I might have to wait to claim both 2nd & 3rd stimulus payments on my 2021 taxes! Is the IRS serious?! It's been a complete nightmare. I was depending on this extra money for medical care & medical bills. I'm just so disgusted & disheartened
