Filed on Feb 1 and still no Federal refund

[cowboyslover2015]

I used Turbo Tax to file both the State and Federal taxes on February 1st.  I received confirmation that both the State and Federal were sent by Turbo tax.  I received my State refund quickly but I have still not received my Federal refund.  How can I be sure that the IRS has by Federal Tax form?

If your return was accepted, then the IRS has your return.  The IRS is closed & they are not taking phone calls.  They are still processing e-filed returns & stimulus checks but they have been behind.

It is taking the IRS longer to process returns since they are closed.  They are still processing e-filed returns but the 21 days (business days) is not the standard now due to Covid-19.  The IRS is not processing mailed in returns at this time.

 All you can do now is keep checking the IRS website, Where's My Refund, the website updates once a day.
