Just got mine this week. My accountant said the hang up was the stimulus payments and if you claimed you failed to receive one that you were, otherwise, eligible to receive. If that happened, you claimed you didn’t receive the check on line 30 of the 1040. I never received the $1200 payment issued around Christmas so we “recovered” that payment on line 30, increasing my refund by $1200.

Apparently, that throws things into a tizzy according to the accountant. I got my refund, minus the $1200, with a nice letter telling me I I don’t agree with this, simply call this #. I did and got a recording saying “due to the high volume of calls we cannot answer your call at this time, goodbye.” Click.
