How what?  Are you asking about phoning the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service?   That department is still taking phone calls in most states.

At the following IRS website, find the USA map and click on your state, and it will give you the number of your IRS Taxpayer Advocate.

@VaSlim31  Google IRS  Tax Advocate NEAR ME, Or IRS TAX ADVOCATE & ( whatever city you're in).  The number is different for each city, or go to IRS WEBSITE AND TYPE IN ADVOCATE IN THE SEARCH, It's been explained a few times throughout this thread and others. Have to wait for option 4 then leave Required info to get a call back. I'm not sure if these thread topics take you to the beginning or just the last page, but it seems like it's just the last page, I keep seeing people having to ask questions, where the answer was given earlier in the thread. Either way, Good Luck. Sadly TURBOTAX won't allow us to post emails or phone numbers, have to become creative and make it not look like a phone number to get it through.

The IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service is still taking phone calls in most states.  They are especially prone to help if you have a hardship.  They may be able to look up the reason for your delay, and in some instances can help tweak it.

At the following IRS website, find the USA map and click on your state, and it will give you the number of your IRS Taxpayer Advocate.

It depends where you are located.  The IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service is still taking phone calls in most states.  They are especially prone to help if you have a hardship.  They may be able to look up the reason for your delay, and in some instances can help tweak it.

It doesn't mean one thing or the other.  It only means you got the stimulus faster.   If you are due a Federal refund, you'll get it at some point, unless there is some kind of offset due to a debt, or an improper credit, calculation error, etc., and the IRS has to adjust something.   If your return processing has been delayed at the IRS for some review, then only the IRS will know what all they are doing with your return.

Since you didn't say what all you have checked on in regard to your Federal refund, there are some things you should check, including being sure it was actually filed successfully.

If you efiled, you should double-check to be sure the return was efiled successfully and accepted.
If you used Online TurboTax, you can sign into your Online Account and check the efile status at the Tax Home.

If that showed it was accepted, you can use the "Where's My Refund" tool at the IRS website below to monitor the status of your Federal refund.  
https://www.irs.gov/Refunds

NOTE: When using that tool, use only the Federal refund amount, and not any total refund amount that includes a state refund.
The amount to use is on your Federal Form 1040, Line 21a.
