The IRS said it was fixing many of its pandemic-related problems and delays. But, for the third year in a row, it is still behind in processing millions of returns.
We are more than halfway through 2022, and millions of people are still waiting for their tax refunds.
One very frustrated taxpayer wants to know what's behind the delay, and how long those affected may have to wait. Rick Owens dreamed of building a $2,000 above-ground pool for his family this summer with the money he would get from his tax refund. So, he mailed his paper return in on February 5, but five months later, he had received nothing.
"We hadn't heard anything," he said,"and my wife checked on the computer, but they had no information there."He called the IRS's toll-free number but said,"that was impossible. We couldn't talk to anybody."As of July 1, the IRS says it had a backlog of 10 million unprocessed paper returns this year. Tax experts say paper returns add a few weeks to the process in a normal year, but not the four, five, or even six-month delays some people are seeing now.
