If my refund on the IRS website says still processing does it mean I will be audited?

[Danbernie]

I want to make sure the IRS has my right address and know why my refund has been in processing for over 2 months.

Although the typical refund takes 21 days it sometimes can take longer. Refer to the source below for more details and also how to contact the IRS.

Last year in most cases, many filing taxes received their refund in less  than 3 weeks. Keep in mind, in an attempt to protect individual tax filers, the PATH act was put in place. This may be causing a slight delay for many tax filers.  See this FAQ for more information regarding  Where's my Refund.

It has been past the 21 days!! and on the website wheres my refund it still says we are processing your refund, a date will be given when available. And now it had effected my stimulus check !! I haven't received a letter by mail, and i already got my state. There is no number to contact the IRS i don't know what else to do!

The online link is your best option to track your refund.  I have attached a link with more answers from the IRS as to why your refund may be taking longer to process.

Federal refund questions

There is a delay in processing the returns as the IRS is not processing paper returns at the moment due to Covid-19 and social distancing policies in effect.

Call the IRS? Right now? Is that a joke?

My irs wheres my refund page says that its still processing and a refund date will be available but its been over 21 days and i filed jan 24 2022 should i be worried when everyone else has been approved. Would i had received a letter from the irs if i was flagged already ?
