Why is it taking me so long to find out anything about my income tax from the IRS it keeps saying pending?

Pending is not on the IRS website for the status of a federal tax refund.  Do you mean Processing?

If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.
