This is crazy. My sister just did her taxes with ah&R 2 days ago and was already accepted and approved. Mine was filed 2/4/21, accepted 2/11/21, & was just approved like 2 days ago. It’s never been this long EVER. I know people who went through TurboTax and got theirs back. What’s the problem?
Once the IRS has the tax return TurboTax has nothing more to do with it.
TurboTax only gives the general IRS (most returns are processed within 21 days) date. The actual date is known only by the IRS. TurboTax also does not adjust the general date for anything on the tax return. TurboTax receives no feedback from the IRS after filing.
The IRS says most refunds will be issued within 21 days - some faster, some longer.
Each tax return is evaluated on it's own merits. There is no first-in-first-out. Two similar tax return submitted at the same time can have totally different processing times based on IRS criteria for examining tax returns that the IRS does not divulge.
Some returns will be held for ID verification or other verification. The IRS will send a letter if they require more information to process your tax return.
