Please be aware, the IRS is currently taking longer to process returns because they are backlogged. You can track your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site. 

 

Please see What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days? for additional information.

A whole lot of people are experiencing the same issue.  

 

If you filed your 2020 taxes and haven't received your refund, your experience is very common -  the IRS is encountering major delays in processing 2020 tax returns, and is almost impossible to reach by phone. 

  

The IRS Where’s My Refund? site is still the best first place to go for information. 

  

Why is this happening? Tax season (normally Jan 1 - Apr 15) is the busiest time of the year for the IRS. This year, they have also had to deal with major changes in the tax law, including ones that were passed retroactively in the past two weeks. They are also struggling with the same COVID workplace and workforce issues the rest of the country has encountered. 

 

See the following article for additional information on Where is my damn IRS tax refund?
