There has been a delay in returns due to The Path Act, if you claimed an EITC, See details here:  https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/5556415  But if this is not the case you can continue to check your refund status at: https://sa.www4.irs.gov/irfof/lang/en/irfofgetstatus.jsp or contact them at 1-800-829-1040.
