    Guess I should add that my return was accepted by the IRS 2/18 so it has been 40 days since accepted.

    Even though the IRS issues 9 out of 10 tax refunds within 21 days, it's possible your return may require additional review and take longer to process.

    For some taxpayers, PATH Act requirements and other identity-protection safeguards implemented by the IRS may account for longer wait times.

    Other things that can delay your refund include, but are not limited to:

    • Errors, inconsistencies, or missing information
    • Identity fraud
    • Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation, which can take 11-14 weeks to process

    Also, if you chose direct deposit, your financial institution may need another day or two to post the refund to your account, so keep that in mind.
