My tax return has been in pending sense the 5th of last month. You already filed it and that the IRS has it but the site says it's being processed but its been 2 months.

The IRS website says "Your tax return is still being processed." and "A refund date will be provided when available." I can't just call the IRS for assistance because they don't answer calls at all and they don't even try, they put me in que and then two seconds later the automated system says no one can take my call and then hangs up on me.

As of May 15, 2021, we had 300,000 individual tax returns received prior to 2021 in the processing pipeline. Including current year returns, as of May 15, 2021, we had 16.4 million unprocessed individual returns in the pipeline. Unprocessed returns include those requiring correction to the Recovery Rebate Credit amount or validation of 2019 income used to figure the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC). This work does not require us to correspond with taxpayers but does require special handling by an IRS employee so, in these instances, it is taking the IRS more than 21 days to issue any related refund. If, as a result, a correction is made to any RRC, EITC or ACTC claimed on the return, the IRS will send taxpayers an explanation. Taxpayers are encouraged to continue to check Where’s My Refund? for their personalized refund status and can review Tax Season Refund Frequently Asked Questions.
