IRS tax refund delayed [View all]
I've been waiting on my 2024 tax refund since I filed electronically in February.
In mid-March I got a letter from the IRS asking for identity verification, which I promptly did. The verification website said it would take six weeks to get my refund processed.
And here we are, almost July. and nothing. From others (as posted on Reddit), it seems that the IRS is backlogged and I may (or may not, who knows) get the refund in August or September.
I communicated my problem with my Congressional representative, who supposedly sent my info to an IRS Tax Advocate - but no response.
Are any of you in the same boat? Why do I feel this is a direct result of the DOGE shenanigans? I have NEVER in 55 years of filing tax returns had to wait this long. And, wouldn't you know it, this year I was expecting a larger refund due to an overpayment of estimated taxes. Grrrr!!
