Have not recieved Federal Tax Return yet

[bwhitey629]

I filed for my Federal Tax return on 2/3/23 and it was accepted on 2/3/23 and scheduled forpayment (Estimated) on 2/24/23. I have not received it yet and when I go to check on it, says it is in process? Has been this way for almost 3 months. Is there anywhere I can get more information on the delay?

Hi @bwhitey629 Thanks for your question!

Your best bet if you've already checked the IRS.gov site for where's my refund is to call them. The number is 800.829.1040. I strongly recommend calling at 7AM exactly local time when they first open. If you call at 6:59AM you will not get through. If you call at 7:10AM I have seen people not able to get through before. 

Thanks again!

I did not get a person, It asked me questions and then it says that my refund is still being processed??

You'll need to use the right combination of numbers to get a person on the line. I'm sorry that's not more helpful. It can be quite challenging to get through.

Do you know what #'s I need to press?

To call the IRS:IRS:  800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri

Listen to each menu before making the selection.

First choose your language. Press 1 for English.

Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.

Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".

Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  

Then press 3 "for all other questions."

Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent.

I wish I did, but unfortunately I do not.
