IRS Service Refund Delay: How Long Should I Wait?

Ugh, refunds can be such a pain! I've had similar issues before. It really depends on your payment method. If it was a credit card, it could take 3-5 business days. For debit cards or bank transfers, it might be up to 10 business days. Have you checked with your bank to see if there's any pending transactions?

I found a method to get someone on the phone at the IRS. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/bA59vpIwDRU

Have you tried contacting the company directly about the refund? Sometimes they can give you more specific info about when it was processed on their end. Might help you track it down faster.

Oof, dealing with refunds AND the IRS? You're fighting a two-headed monster there, buddy. Hang in there! 🤞

I work in finance, so let me break this down for you: 1. Refund processing times vary by company and payment method. 2. Most companies initiate refunds within 1-3 business days of cancellation. 3. Credit card refunds typically appear as pending within 24 hours but may take 3-5 days to post. 4. Debit card and bank transfer refunds can take 5-10 business days. 5. PayPal refunds are usually faster, often within 24 hours. If it's been longer than these timeframes, definitely reach out to the company again. They should be able to provide a refund confirmation number or transaction ID. As for the IRS issue, consider using the Taxpayer Advocate Service if you're having trouble resolving it on your own. They can often help navigate complex situations.
