You are not alone. Many, many people -- hundreds of thousands, millions? -- are seeing the same thing. 

There are many different ideas about this. Safe to say the IRS is badly backed up right now.

Some return may take longer to process. Please see What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days? for information what to do and why it might take longer.

 

Please see Why is there no record of my return at Where's My Refund (WMR)? for additional information.
