I too have been in pending status for the 2.5 months. I have never had this issue before. I think there's a bigger issue than just the generic answer of it takes a few weeks to get your refund. It shouldn't take 2.5 months to process an electronic return!

**NOTE*** Due to the Corona virus 10 week shutdown the IRS is operations are still very limited. Any tax return that requires hand processing will probably have long delays. Mailed returns were not being processed and there is a huge backlog. Most phone service remains limited.
