My 2020 tax refund is still held up and my 2021 refund seems to be delayed as well. I am a 72-year-old widow with no dependents, living in Cleveland, TN, and my typical filing status is married filing jointly. I made approximately $18,000 in 2020, which included $9,800 from work and $427 from social security. I had to send my husband's death certificate and fill out a form as a surviving spouse, and I received a letter from the IRS for 2021 asking for the same documents. How do I resolve the delay in my refunds and what should I do for next year's filing?
