          I’ve never bothered to call in. I feel like some snot-nose kid at their desk will flag me for review if I do. LOL!

            They tell you give it 21 days, I need my money too but what’s aggravating them gonna do? It’s not calendar days its business days. They don’t work weekends. If it’s after that then call and ask. I was told that because the tax prep companies accepted many refunds before the day they were accepted (1/19) that it messed everything up. Some people were resequenced that filed early.

              @jumill87 My point exactly! If the higher ups can’t/won’t help, do you really think the people at the bottom can make a change?

                Lol @ the person who said to contact a congressman or state rep. Like they are really going to help you out? Are you kidding me? LOL@@!@ We give our country the benefit of the doubt by paying taxes, taxes on our hard earned money that they get INSTANTLY, they don’t have to wait 21 days, or file some stupid paperwork to get their money, they just take it right out of your check. We have the RIGHT to be mad. All we can do is keep calling and pestering until they do something. The people that answer the phones have nothing to do with filing taxes, they are there to answer questions and help, that’s their job.

                @janel Being rude to employees isn’t acceptable but demanding answers in TRUTH is & plz know that The Federal Treasury Employees enjoy the largest and strongest union in the USA w/ annual increases bonuses and a RETIREMENT plan tax payers pay for as well as medical benefits NOT under Obamacare….so they do VERY WELL and should be held to a bar of accountability

                  Every single year they manage to screw something up. The Internal Revenue Service has all year to prepare for tax season. All year! This isn’t just extra bonus money we’re waiting on. It’s called a “return” for a reason; a return in over-payments. It’s ridiculous that by now they haven’t come up with a system that actually works like it’s supposed to. First come, first serve. If there’s some sort of a delay, update with what the delay is. Don’t like rumors go wild. We all stress at tax times. You could have the simplest of returns, but when the delays start happening the panic sets in. Did it get pulled? Is something wrong? Then moving on to the fact that yes, while you shouldn’t depend on your return for anything, sh*t happens to the best of us. One person might be waiting to purchase a new TV, while the next person is waiting to catch up their rent after being laid off. Regardless of which, we have every right to be upset when we’re kept in the dark.

                    Are you serious? It’s a process that is clearly spelled out. It takes up to 21 days (unless there are issues). Most are done much quicker. I would say that is a timely manner! I’m not sure when you submitted yours (fewer than 21 days ago, I’m sure), but the first round of DD are set for this week. I would not be surprised if it shows up in your account by Friday.

                    Do you really think calling and pestering the employees is going to help? If you really want to make a change, call someone that can actually do something (i.e. congressperson, senator, representative, etc.). Don’t harass an employee that cannot do anything for you, except give you the status of the return.

                    I get that you are frustrated, but taking it out on the wrong people is not only immature, it’s useless.

                    GOVERNMENT of WORTHLESS The IRS has a $10.6 BILLION Budget which included $82,000,000 in Raises $32,000,000 in Retirement Contributions Increases etc… They are pissed at Congress for reductions BUT 2% Budget Reductions per year since 2010…Hey Union Employees the REAL WORLD has been hit about 6%-12% PER YEAR

                    Anyway, i digress, I know people WANT to TRUST but this mess smells fowl….
