I called re my refund (filed 1/27) and was given the August 1st date as well-as a possible date for change in status. Office closures due to the pandemic are the apparent cause for the delay in processing refunds. But, I’ve never had an issue with my refunds and this year It was pulled to be verified for accuracy and up in till right before the closings I still hadn’t heard from the IRS. Also waiting on stimulus payment after updating the system w my direct deposit info back in April... What an absolutely insane tax year!
