My wife was talking to an accountant, and casually remarked that the IRS was really slow, as we had not yet received our tax check for 2020. The accountant said that they (the IRS) shredded hundreds of thousands of returns, preferring to work with digital returns only. Has anybody else not heard back from the IRS for 2020? Theoretically, if they shredded my return, then could then cite me for failure to pay, although I have photographs of all forms and mail receipts.

I kept/keep checking this site once or twice a week.

Eventually the status changed and I got it. Calling does no good, they have a huge backlog and will get to it when they get to it.
When I sign in, it tells me my account is "unavailable" right now. Why does that not surprise me?
