I have filled up my tax return form 1040 for 2021 on 04/17/22, but I still miss the check.I guess it's lost and I need it to be reissued. How this could happen?

What does it say on the IRS refund site?   Has your refund even been issued?   There are a lot of delays for 2021 refunds.

 

 

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

 

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2021 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

To track your state refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

OR——if you filed by mail, expect a long wait.   It is taking the very backlogged IRS six to nine months to process mailed returns.   Until a human opens your envelope and enters the data into the system, nothing will even show up on the refund site, so you will have to be very patient.

@petya_vn if you paper filed, the IRS hasn't even begun reviewing paper filed returns received in April.
