Normally, no, but this year we are hearing a number of reports of refunds taking this time - and longer. The IRS has a significant backlog of tax returns. They are actually still processing 2019 tax returns, including many that were electronically filed.
If your tax return required any manual intervention, which it sounds likely is the case, then it is not possible to estimate at this time when your refund might reach you. Manual intervention is most common this year if the IRS records reflect a different amount of first and second round Economic Impact Payments made than your tax return reports received. This was especially common in early and mid-February returns as many tax payers filed as the IRS was still sending out payments resulting in reports of payments not received which were then received a few days later.
The IRS has to adjust those refunds manually before processing and this is causing delays.
This may not be the case for your specific delay, but the number of returns affected by that issue is responsible for a significant portion of the backlog.
If there is any issue which requires action on your part, you will receive a letter requesting the information needed from the IRS. If you do not receive any letter, there is not anything that you need to do (or can do) to speed up the processing of your return and the receipt of your refund.
