Refund Still Pending after 21 days

I e-filed my Federal Tax Return on 3/16/2021, my return shows a sizable refund and after checking the IRS Website is continues to state my tax return is still being processed.  It is now 29 days.  When can I anticipate receiving my refund?

Well, many folks have been waiting 60 days or more.  The IRS is seriously backlogged due to all the new tax laws and extra stimulus filings, as well as unprocessed 2019 returns left over from the COVID shutdown.  Please continue to be patient.  Also see:
