Still no Federal refund

I filed my Federal tax return via Turbotax electronically with the IRS on the 12th of March 2020. The return was accepted by the IRS. It is now May 18, 2020 and I still have not received my refund. I keep checking the IRS "Where is My Refund" site, but it just says "still processing". There has been no communication from the IRS whatsoever: no letter, no email, no phone call. Interestingly enough I already did receive my state income tax refund about two weeks ago.

Any ideas on what 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.

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.
