I'm getting this response from the IRS two weeks after I received the email (2/27/21) telling me they had accepted my return!

@lloydjweaver If your return was "Accepted" by the IRS, be sure you are entering you Federal refund only, prior to any fees being taken out if applicable. If you are filing joint, enter the filers social security number that appears first on the return, when checking your status on the IRS  site.

If all of your information is being entered Where's My Refund? correctly then it is most likely due to the post on the IRS site right now. You can check here: Where's My Refund? - Internal Revenue Service but it is posted as follows: "Updates to Where’s My Refund Status Delayed for Some

There may be high traffic on the IRS site right now, website issues or updates being done.

Continue to check Where’s My Federal Refund?. The IRS usually updates daily, usually overnight. Hopefully it will update soon.
