my federal refund

[bonnieb0429]

My federal tax return was accepted on February 12, and my state return was accepted on February 14. My state refund has been deposited, but not the federal. I claim an eic and ctc, but I have had these credits on my return for the past 14 years. I have filed with turbo tax for 7 or 8 years and all my info carries forward. When I check the status on Where's my refund it states my refund is still being processed and a refund date will be posted when it is available. I am unable to get through to an actual person at the IRS. I have 2 children and am counting on this refund. I'm afraid this will also affect my stimulus payment. Especially since this is my year to claim both of my children who are with me all year long. Does anyone have any information that may help?

Unfortunately, IRS has a lot going on right now with processing 2020 returns and the passage of the new American Rescue Plan.  They are having to adapt the Internal Revenue Tax Code with the changes in the tax law just passed.

The best thing you can do is to check a couple of links for information regarding your return and stimulus checks at the following links:
