Don't ask us, ask IRS.

"As of March 26, 2021, we had 16.5 million unprocessed individual returns in the pipeline. Unprocessed returns include those requiring correction to the Recovery Rebate Credit amount or validation of 2019 income used to figure the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Advance Child Tax Credit (ACTC). This work does not require us to correspond with taxpayers but does require special handling by an IRS employee so, in these instances, it is taking the IRS more than 21 days to issue any related refund. If, as a result, a correction is made to any RRC, EITC or ACTC claimed on the return, the IRS will send taxpayers an explanation. Taxpayers are encouraged to continue to check Where’s My Refund? for their personalized refund status and can review Tax Season Refund Frequently Asked Questions."

And add to their tasks the UI adjustments for everyone who just had to file early, and the APTC removal.

Essentially, the IRS has become everyone's quality assurance clerk.

Not often that someone writes "IRS" and "quality assurance" in the same sentence.

Last week I had to write an IRS lawyer about a case I thought we had settled when a Tax Court judge signed a stipulated order that the taxpayers owed $2,848. Ogden Service Center then proceeded to assess $3,058 because -- well, that was the amount on the revised CP-2000 they issued after the Notice of Deficiency. Ogden IRS doesn't need no stinkin' Tax Court judges.
