Why is it taking 3 months to get my refund

Filed March 5th and still no refund

posted

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.

It has been 2 months since March 5, not three. Lots of other folks are still waiting (some since mid-February), so please continue to be patient. Also see:
