Very Late Refund

I filed my 2019 through Turbo Tax on 3-29-2020.  I have already received my Virginia State Refund.  There is no word from IRS on my federal refund. It's very nearly been 45 days, and they are going to start owing me interest.  I've never had this issue before, especially for an electronic filing.  All they will tell me is that my return is being processed.  Can you advise as to how I find out why my return is taking so long to process?

Very Late Refund

TurboTax gets no information about the status of your refund.
In normal times, the IRS says that most filers get their refunds within 21 days from the time their tax return is accepted.
Many returns are taking longer now since the IRS did not process returns for a while and there is now a big backlog of unprocessed returns.
The IRS is currently not processing any mailed returns and is not taking any phone calls.

If you efiled your return, have you confirmed that the return was submitted by TurboTax and accepted by the IRS?

If accepted, what does the IRS tracking web site say about the status of your refund?
