Why are you expecting a "fight" with the IRS? I think they are going out of their way to keep you informed on why your refund will be late. There's no need for you to inquire about it, so that's less you will have to do.Sixty days passed and I received my 2nd letter today. "We need an additional 60 days to send you a complete response on what action that we are taking on you account." (Don't bother calling us..we will write you when we are through..or words to that effect.)
No crying here but no fun fighting for your life and the IRS at the same time. I really do not have the energy for the battle that might lie ahead with the IRS.
Your 2023 return is being processed and when they are done, you will be notified and the refund will be issued....along with interest (that might arrive later).
If you want to be prepared for follow-on questions from them, itemize the expenses you took (showing receipts if possible) and also show them the medical/travel expenses you didn't take. Maybe they will increase your medical deduction even more. They may also need to see some of the medical expenses over an extended period of time (even if covered by medical insurance) to prove you needed to be in TX on various dates. (You can redact the medical procedure codes/names for privacy.)
Just focus on your health, if need be. The IRS is just a minor inconvenience for now.
