Does not having a trackable tax return mean there's something wrong with my federal return?

Filed 01/09, accepted 02/11 but my return isn't trackable (wrong information error) even though I'm 100% sure it is the correct information.

No - Just because you can't track your refund doesn't mean there's something wrong.  Remember that all the info you enter in the IRS Check My Refund Status tool has to be exact--including your refund amount,.  It could be that the IRS is just delayed in updating their Refund Status tool.

 

 

The IRS states that they issue most refunds in less than 21 calendar days from the date the return was accepted by the IRS.  This is in a normal year and is a target only--not a guarantee.   The IRS has had extra work lately distributing the first and second stimulus checks in addition to processing returns. 

 

If you claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), you can expect to get your refund by the first week of March if:

Additionally, your financial institution may need time to accept your direct deposit or issue a debit card. Many institutions don’t process payments on weekends or holidays. So, if you file early, be aware of federal and local holidays that may affect how soon you get your refund.
