Its been past 21 days after 2020 e-file tax return has been accepted. No state or federal refund has been deposited!!

I filed my taxes on 1/21/2020 (e-file for direct deposit) and they were accepted on 2/12/2020.

I originally thought it would take up to 21-Business days to receive the return but I found out that the IRS does work on weekends during tax season and 21 days start from time return was accepted (counting weekends, but not counting holidays). It has been a little over 2 weeks (counting weekends) since tax return was accepted.

I did the following:

E-filed for direct deposit
Double checked routing and checking number
Been patiently waiting after everyone around me who got their return accepted around the same time or later than mine was get their refund 🤔.

I keep checking the irs2go app and on the website. In the beginning I was able to see the bar or progress and see that my return has been accepted and the next steps was to get an expected deposit date. Now when checking the website or app I get the "Your refund is still being processed" message and nothing else 🤣😡. (Im assuming if it was a problem with the taxes, I should have already received a letter stating what needs to be fixed)

Biden just approved the new stimulus, so I know people are calling the IRS like crazy! But I cant even get through to them Ive called at least 60 times in the last 20 minutes 🙄. I also called a couple minutes prior to 7:00am (PST) and was still unable to get through.

Ive called Tax Advocates to get an update (busy line)🙄 and the US Treasury to see if they can show if they attempted to make a deposit to my bank (busy line)🙄.

THERES LITERALLY NO ONE TO TALK TO!!!! THEY TAKE THEIR TAXES OUT MY CHECK EVERY MONTH ON TIME SO I NEED MY REFUND ON TIME!!! 🙄🙄🙄

Any luck for others? 🙏
