I have a bunch of clients asking me the same question. Funny thing is my own return just got held up for identity verification - really? My return, My name and firm as preparer and ERO and they want to check that I filed the return. Refund stall tactic?

IRS recently said they have millions of returns waiting for manual processing before refunds could be issued.

Yes, this is becoming a daily question, even though it doesn't take much of a search to find it asked and answered.  Now that Intuit has managed to move recently-answered posts to the top, maybe they could "pin" FAQ's there also?
