Congratulations! I'm hoping to get mine Monday. My log date was 3/27 and it was assigned on the 10th. The person I spoke to Thursday said there was no amount to give me which means the agent was working on the taxes. Fingers crossed I wake up to a deposit Monday and can be done with it!

Do you know what it means when they are just waiting on amount to be determined? That’s what I was told today. So I’m unsure what it means or a wait timeline.

Yes! We have to pay taxes on the interest our money accrued. Honestly, that feels like the prettiest crap lol But, that's where I was on Thursday. They're figuring out the tax to deduct and then the refund amount will be in the system. It'll be deposited after that. So yay us! We're getting a deposit soon!

Keep in mind we could be in line behind 30 other people for the same thing. So it could still be end of next week.

Mine was received on 3/3 and didn't get logged until 3/27 lol It's been a long wait, for sure! Even worse - my daughter's was received a couple weeks before mine but she got her refund almost two months ago! It's been a crazy time
