Most people receive their refund within 21 days.

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, 2017. 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.

IRS representatives can only research your refund if it’s been at least 21 days since you e-filed, at least 6 weeks since you mailed your return, or if their Where’s My Refund? lookup tool tells you to contact them.

If Where's My Refund? says your return has been received but your refund has not yet been approved, that means the IRS has your return and is actively working on it.

My return has been accepted on February 23, 2019 but I’ve yet to receive. I keep receiving these notice letters saying that I owe 1,215.00 when that is my tax return that you all owe me. I’ve never been behind on my Taxes. I understand errors can happen but I have been waiting on my tax return since the month of April

Are you sure you should receive a refund? Who are you getting the notices from?

The online link is your best option to track your refund. I have attached a link with more answers from the IRS as to why your refund may be taking longer to process.
