The IRS is seriously backlogged due to all the new tax laws and extra stimulus filings, as well as a few million unprocessed 2019 returns left over from the COVID shutdown.  Lots of other folks are still waiting, so please continue to be patient. Also see:

We recommend after 21 days to reach out to the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. There is a high call volume during this time of year.

Please refer to this link for information.

What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?
