Federal Refund

I filed in mid-February and have not received my refund yet, never has it taken this long before. Why is SBTBG involved at all? Seems this is causing problems.

What is the status of your federal tax refund on the IRS website? - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

They've received my return and haven't looked at it yet. Going on 2 months now. Is this because of SBTPG?

No, SBTPG has nothing to do with the IRS procedures. Only after the IRS issues the tax refund will SBTPG get involved if you requested to have the TurboTax account fees paid from the federal tax refund.

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.
