The IRS is trying to dig itself out of a hole of millions of unprocessed returns and late refunds due to a reduced budget, staff, and new responsibilities.

The Treasury Department and the IRS have sounded alarm bells over the agency's funding. According to national taxpayer advocate, the IRS was sitting on over 6 million unprocessed refunds. The IRS has severe limitations and no long-term, predictable funding, and the burden that that places on taxpayers waiting for checks is what Rettig has been outspoken about.
