Hi I too have received my state tax return but I have been waiting over 30 days for my federal tax return and I don’t have any other earned child tax credit or anything and I’m filing SINGLE with no one claiming me and I don’t claim anyone else either. It’s JUST ME. My job or I messed up on taxes and they were taking out a lot more for taxes so I’m actually owed a lot. I’m guessing that could be why it’s taking so long?? But I still should have received it by now since I already got my state return weeks and weeks ago! How long is it gonna take???!!! And when can I speak to someone???????
The IRS is very overloaded. 21 days is just a goal for e-filed returns that need no manual review. If yours need manual review for any reason, then it can take 3-4 months to process since the IRS still has 1.5 million 2020 returns that are not processed.
A manual review can be necessary even if there is nothing wrong with your tax return for example a W-2 (or other form) you entered is from an employer (or other form issuer) that is being reviewed.
