I have not received any updates. Upon checking the IRS Where’s My Refund page my return still shows it has been received but still has not moved beyond that point. I filed February 9, 2025 and according to another posting above me the IRS said it may take 21 days to process. They said this was calendar days but even if we went by business days March 10 would’ve been the 21st business day after having filed my taxes. Still no change. I have attempted (again) to call using the suggested menu navigation in another post above. I have recorded every call. Ultimately you get through one automated system, it says okay let me connect you with a representative and then chimes to another automated system who then acts like they don’t know why you’re calling all over again. I call the 1-800-829-1040 number and the automated system always says, “next time you have a question about your personal income taxes you should call [phone number removed]” and the only time I got to speak to a (very unhelpful) human she told me the same. Not sure which number they think we’re calling or if they even know how their own phone system works. All in all, a waste of time. The closer we get to April 15 the more I worry and am leaning towards reaching out to a tax advocate in my area to at least see if they have a more comprehensive explanation or insight as to what the hold up is. Wishing you all the best as this process has become much more unreliable and stressful than ever before.
