A family member who paper-filed a return received at Ogden on March 24 got his refund last week.  But I am hearing of others who filed by March 14 and are still waiting.  You know that IRS shut down for months last year and is still not fully staffed, and I know it, but many of our clients think that life should be back to normal and returns should be processed just as fast as they were in the Before Times.  The attention span of the average American is about the same as the gestation period of a rabbit.
