      I have the error of “delayed return, apologies, etc” – I believe it comes from my situation, as I called the IRS and they just said “needs more time to process; no letters or notices are posted or have been mailed to you. Just wait.”.

      My situation is as follows – Last year I filed married joint with one dependent whom I was supporting at the time but no longer am, as he is claimed by another family member of mine this year.. Now we had a child early last year and it turns out new babies of 2021 are in fact eligible for the $1400 stimulus check. TurboTax asked how much was received and stated we were eligible for $4200. We received $4200, however, we technically were eligible for $5600 due to my daughter not being the same person as my dependent last year. Due to this, I modified my stimulus received field to $2800 – this caused the field on my 1040 titled “Recovery Rebate Credit” to populate with the amount of $1400, which is what I am owed given my circumstances. IRS said this could throw a flag and make it get reviewed until they realize the two dependents aren’t the same person and I am not trying to claim an already received credit.

      Entire situation is goofy and quite unfortunate. If anyone else is in this situation, please let me know if you’ve received any updates yet or refunds.

      Thanks!
