Only the IRS knows what the issue is that's delaying your tax return.
Just as a note. The IRS will never call, email, or text you if they have a problem.
- It will always be in written form.
- They may use other methods after the initial contact.
The IRS has stated that the typical time to process a tax return is 21 days, but there may be delays for many reasons.
If you are being told that it's still in process, the IRS has not finished checking it out, and they will take the time that they need.
You can check the status of your tax return. You will need:
- Social Security Number.
- Tax return year.
- Hilling Status.
- Exact refund amount

If you wish to contact the IRS, you can call toll-free at 800-829-1040 or contact a Taxpayer Assistance Center Local IRS Office.
Be sure that your return status is Accepted
- It should not show Pending, or Rejected
- The return will also have to be processed.
- Therefore there may be a time delay between Accepted and issuing the refund.
Other reasons your refund can be delayed
- If you mailed your return and expect a refund, it could take four weeks or more to process your return.
- In addition some tax returns take longer to process than others for many reasons, including when a return:
- Contains errors or is incomplete
- Needs further review in general
- Is affected by identity theft or fraud
- Was referred to the IRS by the bank due to suspicious activity
- Includes a claim filed for an Earned Income Tax Credit or an Additional Child Tax Credit.
- And I'm sure a host of other issues
