Jimyb88 asked:
I filed a 6 month extension for my 2007 taxes, and then 2 weeks later on April 30, I filed my 2007 tax return. It’s been 6 weeks, and no status from IRS website, so I called up and they said that it hasn’t even been proceesed yet because I filed an extension. I’ve never heard of an extension impacting a refund…is this correct? any advice on how to get my refund processed quicker?
