After you file

@Rayt0809 

 

Do you think you're the only person waiting on IRS?

 

IRS employees are quitting.

There's a huge backlog.

Your status doesn't update until something changes (approved is the next bar showing).

If your return is delayed, it means a person has to review your tax return.

As of February 18, 2022, IRS had 8.1 million unprocessed individual returns.
