waitinng for the refund check by mail

Answer 1

Just keep checking each week and see if your status changed. They may be reviewing your return (although I doubt it since you did not get a reference code) or they may be swamped this month with all the returns coming in and it's just taking longer to process. I'm sure they will update again soon and give you a refund date---just hang in there. Check again on WED and see if they updated your status again. That is usually when you will see an update if you are getting a direct deposit or refund mailed that Friday.

Answer 2

I myself went to H&R Block , e-filed and was told to expect an 8-15 day wait. Last year It was 7-10 days. Don't remember his exact explanation, but was just that they have lengthened the refund return dates.

Answer 3

I guess it means exactly what it says. You won't get your tax refund until March 20.

As for what is the delay this year, again, I guess it's exactly what it said. A processing delay.
