Where is my federal tax return it has been more than 6 weeks and I still have not received it

I filed 2018 over 6 months ago and I have not received my tax returns as yet I went on line to IRS the only replied I received was my funds would be late because of the Covid 19, I want to know what is the delay Christmas and the New Year is right close and I still don't have my refund.

This is all incorrect any number you call “cannot be completed at this time” I spent my day off just hitting refill for 12 hours

@frustrated  You are posting on an older thread and it is possible that some information needs to be updated.  If you are trying to contact the IRS, the best strategy is to call their number first thing in the morning (likely 7 a.m.) your local time.  Much after that, especially this time of the year, and even more especially with all of the stimulus and other issues, it is very difficult to get through to speak to someone.

It's been 6 weeks since my tax returns were accepted. I have already received my state taxes. Every I call I get " due to high call volume your call can not be completed at this time" the website just says " your refund is still being processed, we will give you a date as soon as one is available". What do I do now?

The IRS is experiencing delays in the processing of returns due to a later than usual start to the tax season, a backlog of mailed returns, current tax season returns, and stimulus payments. Please also see this post here by ToddL99 for further explanation of why returns are delayed.

Excellent info. I tried for a couple days and finally broke through late afternoon. Of course it is a "holiday" weekend so I am sure folks were on their way to wherever instead of trying or waiting on hold.

Also, the callback option is faster than waiting on hold. Waiting was 45 - 60 minutes. Callback, 29 minutes.

Thanks
