Notices Received

Just a reminder - If you receive any tax notices, send us a copy for our review before making any contact or any payment. For instance, Missouri estimates tax due when they don't find a required return filing. The estimated tax due is typically much higher than the actual tax due, and they may have lost your return or you may not be required to file a return. We don't want to pay any more tax than is due to the taxing entity!

IRS Processing Tax Return Update
The IRS currently still has 9.8 million unprocessed individual income tax returns. This includes both 2020 and 2021 year returns. The IRS reported that they are opening the mail within a normal timeframe. Also the IRS reported that there are 2.2 million amended individual tax returns. Currently it is taking about 20 weeks for an amended return to process. Please use this link to check the status of your tax return processing.

Where’s My Refund? allows taxpayers to check on the status of their refund for the current and prior two tax years. 

To access Where’s My Refund?, a taxpayer will need their Social Security number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification number (ITIN), filing status and the amount of their expected refund from the original tax return for whichever tax year they are checking.
Note. Refund information available to those calling the refund hotline will be limited to the current year (2021) tax return.

Using Where’s My Refund? Taxpayers can check the status of their refund within:
  • 24 hours after e-filing a tax year 2021 return.
  • Three or four days after e-filing a 2019 or 2020 return.
  • Four weeks after mailing a return.

Where’s My Refund allows taxpayers to track their refund through three stages:
  1. Return received, 
  2. Refund approved, and
  3. Refund sent.
