No, you are not the only taxpayer in this situation. Although the IRS issues most refunds from e-filed returns in about 21 days, some returns take more time to review.
To find out where your refund is, first check your e-file status. If it's been accepted, you can begin to track your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site. You'll need your Social Security number or ITIN, filing status, and the exact amount of your refund to check your status.
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:
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.
I received the 3rd stimulus, but still have not received my tax return. I filed Feb 5th and accepted Feb 12th. I had no info on the IRS opening on the 12th. I only filed because I knew to do it early as previous years. Anyways, It is nearly 7 weeks later and still no tax return. When I filed, turbo tax asked what I got the 1st two stimulus and I answered honestly, $600 each. Then they say I was qualified for more so they added an extra $600 on top of my return. I think this is what could be causing a delay because they still gave me the $1,400.
Does anyone have any insight?
It's possible that your refund is taking longer because the IRS is matching their stimulus payment records with your return. In any event, since it's been more than 21 days since your return was accepted you can call the IRS about the status of your refund.
