I'm surprised that your friend's stimulus payments were deposited into your account if the account has your name on it. Perhaps those were your stimulus payments?
If you included the Recovery Rebate Credit in your return for the stimulus payments you didn't get, the IRS may be taking longer to process your return in order to reconcile it with its stimulus payment database. Just keep checking your status on the IRS Check My Refund Status tool or the IRS2Go app.
If 21 days pass and you still haven't received your refund you can call and speak to an IRS agent. To contact the IRS, please review the steps and information below:
IRS Support Number: (800) 829-1040
