After you file
People who filed around February 12 to 14, seem to be taking the longest to process. Some of them have received their refunds this week. This was caused by the IRS being so far behind and then having changes in the tax laws that required them to process stimulus payments in addition to processing tax returns.
You can check the status of your refund at Where's My Refund.
You can also call the IRS and talk to an agent.
Here is the quickest way to get to a person:
Call them at 1-800-829-1040. They are open Mon - Fri from 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM. The best time to reach them is 8:00 AM your time.
Get to a live person fastest: Press 1 for English, then press 2 for Personal Income Taxes, and then push 1, then 3, then 2, then 0# when it asks for your social security number, then 2.
