Only the IRS can know what all they are doing with your return.   If it's been longer than 21 days, you could phone them to see if they can tell you anything about the delay.  But there are some things you need to check first.

 

if you efiled, be sure your efiled return was accepted.   If using Online TurboTax, you can check at the Tax Home page.

 

If that showed your return was accepted, you can track your Federal refund at the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool.   What message is displayed there?

https://www.irs.gov/refunds

If you filed a paper return by mail, it can take up to 4 weeks just to show up in that tool.

Be sure to enter the correct tax year, filing status, SSN, and the refund amount from your Federal Form 1040, Line 35a.
