I filed my taxes back in January. IRS accepted it the 9th of February and I’m still waiting. What seems to be the hold up. Also says they’re still reviewing my taxes

There might not be any holdup. Today is just three weeks from when your tax return was accepted. The IRS says that, for e-filed tax returns, they pay 9 out of 10 refunds within three weeks. Yours could be the one out of 10 that takes longer. There are many variables that can affect how long it takes to process your tax return and issue your refund. Go to the following link on the IRS web site for more information about the factors that can affect when you get your refund, and a link to check the status of your refund.

TurboTax has no way of knowing whether anything is holding up your refund or how long it will take for you to get it. TurboTax gets no feedback from the IRS after your tax return has been accepted. Only the IRS can tell you the status of your refund.
