You need to contact the IRS if your tax return is still being processed for almost 60 days. The IRS is reviewing your return because there is something in your return that they want to verify or look at more closely. It still does not automatically mean that you are being audited, but it does mean the IRS is taking a closer look at your return.

This review can take a day or two or it can take much, much longer. If your return remains in the “being processed” status for more than 21 days, you may contact the IRS directly and ask for additional information. The IRS requests that you wait 21 days before contacting them but, you are past this waiting period.

The number you can use to call the IRS is 1-800-829-1040. The hours you can call are from 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday. Instructions for the phone selections are as follows:
• Choose your language preference
• Select option 2 for "personal income tax"
• Select 1 for "form, tax history, or payment"
• Select 4 "for all other questions."
• Select 2 "for all other questions." You will then be transferred to an agent.

Usually the IRS phone agents will not be able to give you any updates until after the 60 days has passed. Once that happens call the number on your letter to get an update.

TurboTax does not receive updates on tax returns that have been filed. With the current situation the IRS is working with a reduced workforce so processing times are longer.

Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
Then press 4 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.

Or you may want to contact a Taxpayer Advocate in your area. See this IRS website for Taxpayer Advocate in your area and a toll free number - http://www.irs.gov/Advocate/Local-Taxpayer-Advocate

Im going through pretty much the exact same thing. I never received my taxes and every time I checked it kept saying it was being processed so I called them and they said I was picked for a mini audit she called it. I verified my address so she could send any paperwork if needed but if I didn't receive any papers I would have my return within 60 days. I never received any mail from IRS and after the 60 days I called now they're saying they need another 60 days because of the covid-19 epidemic. I payday highly recommended and rated tax professional to do my taxes since I moved to a different state and had gotten married I really need my refund especially after moving to a different state starting a new job and not working during the epidemic I don't know what else to do I really need my refund.
