I have not replied for some time. I had the same issue and it took awhile but I was able to get through to the IRS. I was told that my refund was in the review department. I wasn't being audited they told me. The IRS had 8 weeks from the time I was accepted until I would be able to call again. In the 8 week time frame I would either get my refund or get a letter stating they need some from me. They were basically checking my refund for errors or that my 1099's and my deductions made sense. I also discovered that the status tool is a bit delayed. I received my refund on Wednesday and the status til said it was being processed and I would have a date when available. It still said that for 2 days. It then changed to approved and had a refund date of the 29th. When in the review department it doesn't mean it won't turn into an audit. I believe the main hold up was in fact the stimulus rebate system. Some people that didn't get their stimulus and used the rebate while filing taxes could of had a check mailed out already to a wrong address or deposited to a closed account. The IRS has to verify that people were unintentionally "double dipping". I hope this might of helped or at least provided some insight to the many that have this status.
