It's been over 30 business days, No Federal Refund

Hello, I filed Jan 24, 2022, for my 2021 tax return. I already got my State refund, but not my Federal. Both were accepted, and the estimated Federal Refund date was weeks ago. Verified-- I got both emails saying that my Federal and State were accepted Jan 25 after filing the 24th. I got my State return last month. IRS tools and phone tool both don't work, It says "unavailable" info, and yes, I entered my info in right. I was in the tax refund category with the Child Tax Credit. Will delays be even more weeks from now? How will I ever know when I will be getting the refund if no tools or systems can find my info? Ive never had this issue. Last year I claimed the same people, no issues with delays. I've been using Turbotax since 2015 with no issues with delays like this. I filed online. Always have.

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities,  There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals.

 

 

To check on regular tax refund status via automated phone, call 800-829-1954. 

 

 

 

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.

Thanks for trying, but the automated phone line to check the status does not work. I stated this in my post. This response doesnt do anything for me.
