We filed on 2/20. Federal refund says accepted, and the where's my refund site says still processing. What in the world is going on?

Please be aware, the IRS is currently taking longer to process returns because they are backlogged. You can track your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site. 

 

Please see What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days? for additional information.

I bet if I OWED them money, they would want it ASAP! This irritates me to no end!

Congress keeps piling more tasks on the IRS, but without any additional funding to accomplish them.  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.  Lots of other folks are still waiting, so please continue to be patient.  Also see:
