AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE'S MY MONEY?????

We filed back in Feb or March, received the nice little letter (those cost the IRS $42 million, alone) saying we would be receiving our money on the first day of direct deposits and still haven't received one penny!!! The mistake we made was filing an amended return before we received our check. STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! We got a revised K1 in the mail, which amounted to us owing $40 to the IRS. Like good little citizens, we filed our amended return immediately - before April 15, in order to avoid paying penalties. What was our reward - A DELAY ON OUR STIMULUS PAYMENT! At first the FAQ website said allow 8-12 weeks after filing an amended return. Last week, it said allow 12 - 16 weeks. They cashed our check on April 6. That was 19 weeks ago!

Finally on August 29, 20 weeks after our tax payment check was cashed by the IRS, we received our refund. By the way, it never changed from the delay message on the "Where's my refund" It just showed up as a direct deposit in our checking account.

I have to add - we received a check from the U.S. Treasury today for $40.83 - that's our $40 amended payment plus interest. I thought that was pretty cool.
