Hello, my refund was accepeted on 4/20/21 and I read it takes 21 days which will be 05/11/21. I also read most people get the refund sooner. It hasnt arrived.

It still says accepted. I live in Texas. In 6 days it will officially be 21 days and I just wanted to make sure everything was okay and that it is still on its way. Tracking it does no good it just says its processing.

21 days is the customary IRS goal, but this year is different. The IRS is seriously backlogged due to all the new tax laws and extra stimulus filings, as well as unprocessed 2019 returns left over from the COVID shutdown. Lots of other folks are still waiting (some since mid-February), so please continue to be patient.
