Yes, The IRS have backlog of income tax returns to be processed due to forms needed to be updated and/or processing of stimulus payments. The IRS started processing electronically filed income tax returns on a first in, first out basis in February 12, 2021  The refunds are processed within 21 business days after IRS acceptance of the electronically filed return.

 

If you haven't received your federal refund, you can check the IRS website under Refunds tab to check the status of your return

 

See, tax topic refund information, link for more information.

Just be aware that many folks have been waiting 8 weeks or more, so please be patient.
