Why is it taking so long to process my taxes?

Only the tax agency will know, but we can tell you how to check and speak to them, if necessary.

Did you efile, or did you print, sign, and mail the return?  If you efiled, double-check with this tool to be sure the return was efiled successfully and accepted:

If that showed it was accepted (or if you mailed the return), what do you see at the IRS website below for the status of your Federal refund?

If that IRS tool shows that the refund has been sent, but you never received it, report back for more info.  

If the IRS tool says it is still "being processed",  we can tell you how to speak to a live agent at the IRS to see if they can tell you anything about the delay, and if necessary, the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service.

To track a state refund:

Oh, I just notice that I answered this same question for you 4 days ago.   Did you not return to see the other question you asked at this link?

Please see your other thread at the link below and continue the discussion there if you need to.    Having 2 identical threads leads to redundancy and confusion, as you can see.   So I'll close this one.

You need to answer the questions that you were asked in the other thread, so we can tell you what to do.
