So far I still have no update on my refund as I keep checking on the wheres my refund page on irs and it’s still saying being processed. I have also not received anything in the mail from them so I don’t believe there was an error on my return however it has been past 1 month and I’m still not getting any response.
I am not sure of the delay of my tax refund however I haven’t heard any additional information from IRS regarding this either. I would like to know what is taking so long, I did do my tax return late this year however it has now been over a month with no response back from them.

The IRS is seriously behind in processing 2020 tax returns. This is due to many factors, such as the pandemic, completing processing of millions of 2019 tax returns, stimulus payments, unemployment compensation exclusion tax refunds., changes in the tax code by Congress in the middle of the 2020 tax season and the like.
Millions of taxpayers have not yet received there federal tax refunds.
Go to this IRS website for operational status - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-operations-during-covid-19-mission-critical-functions-continue
As of May 28, 2021, we had 19,000 individual tax returns received prior to 2021 in the processing pipeline. Including current year returns, as of May 28, 2021, we had 18.1 million unprocessed individual returns in the pipeline. Unprocessed returns include those requiring correction to the Recovery Rebate Credit amount or validation of 2019 income used to figure the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC). This work does not require us to correspond with taxpayers but does require special handling by an IRS employee so, in these instances, it is taking the IRS more than 21 days to issue any related refund. If, as a result, a correction is made to any RRC, EITC or ACTC claimed on the return, the IRS will send taxpayers an explanation. Taxpayers are encouraged to continue to check Where’s My Refund? for their personalized refund status and can review Tax Season Refund Frequently Asked Questions.
I just wanted to follow with another update as it has been another month and I still have yet to hear any information from IRS about my refund. Nothing has changed when I check the where’s my refund tool online either.
