If you are looking for your tax refund, it usually takes 2 - 3 weeks to get your refund. Some taxpayers get theirs early while some will wait the entire 3 weeks.
If you receive an unavailable status for more than two weeks after your return should have been uploaded into the system, contact the IRS at 800-829-1040.
Here is the general timeline of e-filed returns:
Transmission > Acceptance > Processing > Approval > Refund.
After acceptance, but before processing the status may not be available. If you contact the government or try look up your refund status while your return is still pending, don't be surprised if they tell you "no record found." This is normal; until the government starts reviewing and processing your return, they won't have any record of it.

IRS processing time and refund status
Hi this is quinton vandenburg..
I have file my tax return since 02/24/2021 with turbotax and it has said accepted since then but it's been pass a month now and still I haven't received anything from the IRS and when ever I check the status it says unavailable ..
Once the 21 day period has passed it is recommended to reach out to the IRS for an update. Please keep in mind the IRS has a high call volume during tax season.
Please follow the instructions through the link below to reach out to the IRS.
What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?
I was unable to file electronically because my return kept getting rejected because the AGI was supposedly wrong event though I got it directly from the IRS Transcript. So then, I filed by mail over 8 weeks weeks ago and the system says the status cannot be determined. I have called the IRS almost daily for over two weeks and cannot talk to an actual person. How do I find out if they even received my return? It is so frustrating. Any ideas how I can either talk to a person or get status?
Sorry but getting thru to the IRS is nearly impossible since they are overwhelmed with work and understaffed. The return will eventually show on the IRS WMR? tool but it will take much longer than in the past. If you are sure you mailed to the correct address as posted on your return then all you can do is wait and check the IRS site once a week until you see progress : https://www.irs.gov/refunds
Hi, I filled my tax return by mail on February, I was checking the IRS tool to check my tax return status everyday and finally yesterday I got the status “Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.” after 4 months, hope this helps, my tax return included a ITIN w7 form as well (maybe that’s why it took few months)
The ITIN number was assigned on May 1st as additional note
If you attached your return TO the W-7 and mailed the combination to the address for the W-7 then you should see a letter soon with the ITIN so you can complete your state return (if needed) while the federal is processing. Still expect processing to take 4 months or more from now.
