This is not the Internal Revenue Service.
Lol obviously I know that... I just figured maybe someone will see the post that works for them or anyone for that matter that could assist, since the IRS is so wrapped up in sending stimulus checks to dead people and wrong accounts and all that other mess. I just would like my refund 😁
Waiting is frustrating—refunds are taking longer in many cases. These are not normal times. It is not possible for TurboTax to speed up the IRS for you. It seems to be taking longer than usual for them to process returns. They are short staffed; and they are processing millions of tax returns at the same time that they have been burdened with the task of processing millions of stimulus checks. The IRS is not taking calls right now.

TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.
Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.
You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 20 of your Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

On the IRS site you are also offered the use of an app called IRS2Go

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

Thank you!!! I've checked my IRS APP it's said the same thing for almost two months, it hasn't changed yet. It states that it's still being processed and a date will be available soon....
Did you finally get it? How long did it take.
Playing the waiting game here too! Ugh.
It depends.
Typically, the injured spouse form can take up to 14 weeks to process.
Injured spouse processing time
However, the IRS has been taking longer to process everything with the stimulus payments and limited operations due to Covid-19. Therefore, everything has just been taking longer to process in general.
I have also been waiting. I filed a dependant as well. It's so frustrating that I filed in February and am STILL waiting. I am a full-time father and I could really use my return (lost a month of income due to being laid off)...
Have you received your refund yet? I am in the exact same boat. We must have file on the same night shooting to hit the 4/15 date even thought it was extended. I contacted the IRS and they told me my injured spouse claim was just processed on 7/8 and it should only be another 3 weeks to receive my refund. Call [phone number removed] to get status. You can get a live agent for a change. Please have all of your tax information ready including your W-2 to verify your identity. Hope this helps. Stay healthy and safe!

Anything that required human interactions was delayed for 3 months due to the covid shut down ... add 3 months to the normal 11 - 14 week time frame.
Also, my stimulus check was offset by Child Support. Even though I am entitled to my portion of the economic stimulus, I am told that the IRS has not manual work around to correct this even though an injured spouse claim in on file for 2018 and 2019 and the guidance that they are giving now is that if the issue is not resolved by year end, you will be able to claim a stimulus rebate on your 2020 taxes due to non-receipt. Not exactly what I want to hear, but just passing along the details.
