Why haven’t I received federal return yet?

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 (some as long as10 weeks), so please continue to be patient.  Also see:

Why haven’t I received federal return yet?

Unfortunately, delayed refunds are quite common right now due to IRS department closures and staffing issues.

 

The IRS issues a lot of refunds within 21 days, but it has been taking longer with the stimulus payment being issued in addition to the tax refunds.
