I am actually in the same situation and have been getting very concerned.
I filed also at the end of January.
In March, I noticed that I still never received my return. So I did the “where’s my refund?” On the IRS site. Then they made me go through the id.me process and I had to wait for a letter with a 14 digit code. Then I had to go back in a week later (when I received the letter) and put the code in.
Then I get an answer that said it’s been beyond the normal time frame since I was supposed to get the return. Like “yea, no kidding! You don’t say? That’s why I’m here!!”
I called the IRS on 2 separate occasions since. They said that there’s no fraud flags on my profile, and they can’t see anything else and to be patient. Now we are going into May. I am a student and I need this money.
