The IRS issues more than 9 out of 10 refunds in the normal time frame: less than 21 days. However, it’s possible that some tax returns may require further review and could take longer. Once your tax return was accepted on March 7th, only the IRS knows the status or why they are reviewing it. Once your return is put on hold for review, it is then manually processed. And because of the COVID situation, the IRS has stopped processing paper-filed returns and returns needing manual processing. It would not matter what tax prep software you used, the corrected form caused your tax return to move form electronic and automatic processing to a return needing manually processing.
Amended returns are also manually processed, so these too are on hold until the IRS resumes normal operations.
