#1 IRS’s Where’s My Refund tool

This early electronic filer (Feb 16) has yet to get a refund. Details from the above site report that "after a manual review" the canned TurboTax calculations "were in error".

#2 You'll probably have to call them and verify information on your return to get them to unlock the return and issue the refund.

#3 Georgia sent my $128. refund within 10 days. My CPA is ruthlessly meticulous. In nearly 20 years she has never made a 'mistake' or forced me to endure an audit. The feds can stick their refund and crapulous money up their arsses. I want nothing from these SOB's other than to be left alone.

#4 Better to owe taxes at the year end and send them a check. On time of course.

#7 My first stimulus check took several months to arrive. I gave up looking on that IRS site and then it one day came in the mail.

But, several months prior, two relatives with same last name and, like me, had not filed their taxes (due to the extension) got theirs on the same day. Maybe no rhyme or reason.

Lois Lerner can rot in hell or some other miserable place.

#8 I think the IRS is great. Would love to work for them someday. Highly efficient and non-partisan organization. Keep up the good work.
