Why is my refund taking so long (over 4 weeks as of now)?

I don't understand why my refund is taking over 4 weeks, last year it did this as well, I filed late January and didn't see my refund till late March. I have the most basic taxes I just don't understand what the reason would be for them taking so long when all of my friends who filed after me using the same software have gotten theirs back already? Even people who have the EIC or child credit (which I don't have).

Only the IRS can tell you, but it may just be a processing backlog.
