Question

EFILE REFUND NOT RECEIVED - approximate 8 weeks

4 replies

Returned filed and accepted on 2/25/21. Refund still not received. How can I contact IRS to determine status other than "where's my refund" which only states "being processed"?

Not A Product Question

Even though the IRS issues 9 out of 10 tax refunds within 21 days, it's possible your return may require additional review and take longer to process.

For some taxpayers, PATH Act requirements and other identity-protection safeguards implemented by the IRS may account for longer wait times.

Other things that can delay your refund include, but are not limited to:

Liens, back taxes, or refund offsets

Errors, inconsistencies, or missing information
Identity fraud
Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation, which can take 11-14 weeks to process

Also, if you chose direct deposit, your financial institution may need another day or two to post the refund to your account, so keep that in mind.

Thanks for the reply however none of the possible delay causes apply to my tax return.

Since I have not been able to speak to a live contact at the IRS, I am in the process of setting up an "account" with the IRS that I believe will allow me to access my return in an effort to gain more insight as to what is holding up the refund.
