Hello! My return was accepted on 2/10 but is still processing. This is my first year claiming EIC and I filed head of household. Should I be worried that I made an error or is it common for it to take this long? Should I could the IRS? I don’t want to call if this is normal

Processing delays can depend on many different factors. Some returns are delayed due to errors, inconsistencies or they are just under review. Here's more on this topic: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3302084

If you have been waiting for longer than 21 days since your return was accepted, then you can give the IRS a call at 1-800-829-1040. There is a high call volume.

When calling the IRS do NOT choose Option 1.

Choose Option 2 after you choose the language.

Then Press 1

Then Press 3

Then Press 2, it will then transfer you to an agent.

Thank you! I called and they said I was under review and that it does not mean anything was wrong just that they are taking a closer look at it. Should I be worried? Could it be because my daughter was just born and they need to verify her?
