Your refund cannot be 8 weeks "late," as the IRS has only been processing for 7 weeks, and has told taxpayers to plan on 21 days (3 weeks) after Accepted for processing.
Bu that being said, the IRS is seriously backlogged due to all the new tax laws and extra stimulus filings, as well as unprocessed 2019 returns left over from the COVID shutdown. Unfortunately, contacting the IRS will not speed things up, and they have actually told taxpayers not to call. Lots of other folks are still waiting, so please continue to be patient. Also see:
