Four months since I filed and still haven't received my tax return. On top of that, the IRS's website "Where's My Refund" doesn't work.

The U.S. government has no excuse because its collecting record tax receipts. There should be no under staffing to meet the demand and COVID is no longer an excuse, nor has ever been an excuse, for delays, when everyone else in the world still has had to cope and work through it. On the contrary, the Federal Government made personal cuts to the IRS on purpose. The office in Lisle used to be staffed by several people. Now there is only one person there. And good luck getting an IRS agent on the phone to help you.

Our local representatives, like Sean Casten, don't consider this worthy of their attention until five months have passed, and one needs to have filed an electronic return for them to get involved. It's gross malfeasance, so the government can hold on to your money longer.

Up yours, IRS, Treasury Dept. and Biden Administration.

uh... they were gutted by trump admin. you didnt care then because fuck the government.

I didn't? Of course, I did.

Wrong guy, that you would think I would give the government a pass because of Frump.

a lot of returns are on delay due to employee retention credits. those alone are backed up by at least 7 months

Trump gutted the post office now?

_________________

Yes.

Through his postmaster (who came from the private delivery sector btw) he ordered the dismantling of many processing machines and implemented numerous other restrictions on delivery as well. Not to mention the crap his pulled with respect to personnel and hiring.

All in the run up to the last election.

Drain the swamp wasn't just a slogan. He really tried. Not that I care. But it was never going to work and all it did was hurt a system than sorta worked.

This is one of those areas I think people could independently fact check and figure out whether Trump’s complaints - and the whiny response to those complaints - comported with reality.

USPS remains one of the more independent parts of federal government. They set their own budget forcing them to be somewhat commercial. Even lib rags like WaPo acknowledge DeJoy wasn’t electioneering via decommissioned processing machines.

If you want to vent, I can sympathize. If you would like some insight, a few questions:

1. E-file or paper file;

2. Tax credits, if so which;

3. Schedule K-1;

4. Schedule C business;

5. Any prior year returns under audit?

K1, K2, whatever it takes

He requested bit coin

I filed with paper, because I also had to submit a Schedule D form and another form for investments. Yes, a tax credit is involved.

No prior years under audit.

I don't give a bleep if it's paper. Paper is good because you can retain a copy. People have sent in the paper forms forever. Until the last two years, the returns came in the mail or with DD in about two months. I requested the DD.

But now the federal government is in the hole to the tune of $31 trillion (e.g. national debt). That's the difference for why they're slow playing. Any other excuse is just lip service because of their record tax receipts. It's they're own fault for spending more than they're taking in. Both Republicans and Democrats are guilty of this. That's why neither political party is good for America and should be abolished.

Chomsky says there are no political parties anymore. They're only parties in name.

I file electronically, always have a schedule D (among MANY other forms) and generally get my refund within a week, including this year.

I cannot think of a reason why one would mail in a paper form.

And yes when you file electronically you can still print out a paper copy for retention.
