IRS 2020 Tax refund question.
Mr. Ninga filed our taxes electronically the end of March. We are due a refund and keep checking the Where's My Refund link and it always sez "pending".
Mr. Ninga had it up to his eyeballs and called the IRS at 8 AM today. He eventually got through nearly 1.5 hrs later.
The person checked and said Tax Return was processed and is now in the refund department. Mr. Ninga got transferred to said department and was on hold for an hour and 11 minutes when a human answered. The human said yep, due refund, but we have no idea when funds will be available to process, or in what order given the backlog.
So. Anyone else have this experience?

“ French President Emanuel Macron's statement:
“I no longer have any intention of sacrificing my life, my time, my freedom and the adolescence of my daughters, as well as their right to study properly, for those who refuse to be vaccinated. This time you stay at home, not us. "
In France, those who do not get vaccinated will no longer be able to go to restaurants, cafes (from the beginning of August), cinemas and museums (from July 21) and get on airplanes or trains (again from August). Alternatively, you will have to submit a negative test, which will no longer be free (49 euros for the PCR, 29 for the antigen).
Macron then announced the vaccination obligation for medical personnel and for those who work in contact with fragile people. Since September 15, a nurse who has refused to be vaccinated will no longer be able to go to work and receive a salary. "We cannot make those who have the civic sense to get vaccinated bear the burden of inconvenience," Macron said. "The restrictions will weigh on others, those who for reasons incomprehensible in the country of Louis Pasteur, science and the Enlightenment still hesitate to use the only weapon available against the pandemic, the vaccine."
I am aware of what I am asking you," he said, "and I know that you are ready for this commitment. This is, in a sense, part of your sense of duty."
Yep. France lowers the hammer on anti-vaxxers.
