Mine seemed to be stuck in the “Return Received” category on the IRS Refund Status website for longer than usual this year. Yesterday, it finally changed to “Return Approved”. An hour later, I checked my bank account to see if another deposit had been processed, and I noticed that my refund had already been credited…

Wait! We’ve paid between 3 and 10K for the past four years. Does this mean I can delay my payment for 21 days too?? No, figures.

If you don’t want to pay at the end of the year, why don’t you increase your withholdings?

But...the statement doesn’t even really mention delays. It says, basically, that the IRS expects refunds to continue to be issued as normal. Seriously, what kind of headline is this?
