After you file
I would say to just give it a little while longer. The IRS anticipates processing most refunds within 21 days however there can be delays at times. Please see details below regarding some of the common reason for delays.
Your federal refund can take longer than 21 days to process for the following reasons:
•You claimed an Earned Income Tax Credit and/or an Additional Child Tax Credit and filed before February 15, 2018. It takes until the week of February 27 to receive your refund at the earliest.
•The IRS processed a refund offset.
•There were errors, inconsistencies, or missing info on the return.
•The return is under review.
•The IRS suspects identity theft or fraud.
•There's a Form 8397 (Injured Spouse Allocation) on your return. It takes 11-14 weeks to process.
•You filed Form 1040-X (Amended Return), which can take 12-16 weeks to process.
The IRS also cautions that financial institutions may vary in how long they take to process direct deposits, and paper checks are subject to mail delays.
