The 21 days is not a magic number.  It is just a Target set by the IRS to issue a federal tax refund.  It is NOT a guarantee.

 

If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

 

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.
