It appears that my federal refund status changed from accepted to pending and I am not sure why I have not been able to reach anyone about this problem at the IRS or here

I filed 59 days ago. Earlier when I checked the status of my refund, I had a return date. Now it is listed as pending. How do I figure out what is going on?

Just wait.  If the IRS needs anything, they will let you know.

Pending simply means that your e-filed return is on its way and that the government hasn't accepted or rejected it yet.

If you e-filed your return before February 12, it'll stay in Pending status until the IRS starts processing the backlog of returns.

After that, e-filed returns generally sit in Pending status for 24–48 hours before coming back as either Accepted or Rejected. Sometimes state returns stay in Pending for several days or even longer.

Keep calm and check back

Until your state or the IRS processes your return,  you may hear there's "no record found." That actually means the return's still being processed. Just check back in a few days.

Read that again ... the return goes from PENDING acceptance  to   ACCEPTED for processing and it will remain in PROCESSING until the IRS is done processing it and this year it could be a long time.  All you can do is check the IRS site once a week until you see progress.
