No, Because of COVID 19 and all the other changes that are occurring, you may expect some delay in processing your return.  Check back with them periodically.

Most refunds are received within 21 days from the time a return has been accepted (received). However, some returns take longer than others. It's possible your return may require additional review and take longer to process.

 

The IRS is also experiencing delays in processing returns due to a later than usual start to the tax season, a backlog of mailed returns, and current tax season returns. 

 

For more information, please see My return is accepted but still not approved. Is there a problem? Should I be worried?
