Nope filed online
did you check your account transcript for any activiity? did you check the where's my refund tool? do you have anything on Lines 28 or 30?
How long you may have to wait: The IRS understands the importance of timely processing of tax returns and refund issuance. We have processed all error free returns received prior to October 2021 and continue to work the returns that need to be manually reviewed due to errors. We are continuing to reroute tax returns and taxpayer correspondence from locations that are behind to locations where more staff is available, and we are taking other actions to minimize any delays. Tax returns are opened and processed in the order received. As the return is processed, whether it was filed electronically or on paper, it may be delayed because it has a mistake including errors concerning the Recovery Rebate Credit and the Child Tax Credit, is missing information, or there is suspected identity theft or fraud. If we can fix it without contacting you, we will. If we need more information or need you to verify that it was you who sent the tax return, we will write you a letter. The resolution of these issues could take 90 to 120 days depending on how quickly and accurately you respond, and the ability of IRS staff trained and working under social distancing requirements to complete the processing of your return.
I have checked nearly every week multiple times for updates, I have used where is my refund, I've called numbers I can't get through to anyone at the IRS I'm literally shut out it seems from any answers from them.
@noniwhispers-gma - did you by chance have anything on Lines 28 or 30 of Form 1040?
did you check your transcript to see if anything is noted there?
otherwise, best is to keep checking weekly. As long as you have that email confirmation of an 'accept', the IRS has your return,
