Refund status

[JANASTOWE]

I filed my 2024 taxes on January 15th. They were accepted on January 17th. It's been 21 days and there hasn't been movement or an approval yet.

Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.
