And no the IRS is not going to acknowledge you what's going on They don't know anything The people you call on the phone cannot see more than you can see on where's my refund So they literally can't tell you anything until there's something found by the computer system that's showing them an error or that's showing them what the problem is They cannot tell you You can keep calling them and asking them every day if you want or you can just order your tax transcripts and check them You have to have a valid like real credit card to check your tax returns online otherwise you have to have a mail to you which further delays the IRS processes and returns because people are ordering millions of them sent to their houses and that between the earned income credit the unemployment and all that crap and the fraud it's just a nightmare So I wouldn't count on it anytime soon All you can do is sit and wait there is a tax advocate service you can call and ask them to look in your return they'll actually look into it and tell you if everything looks fine and they could tell you if they see a mistake but until the IRS acknowledges that mistake and says that they're going to do something about it which will show up on where's my refund or letter in the mail or on your tax transcripts there's also plenty of pages on Reddit and Facebook where you can find this information and they'll tell you how to read the tax transcripts
