When I log onto irs to check where my federal return is it says cant be accessed can you please tell me when I will get my federal return? And also i only got partial 3rd stimulus when I put my info in for the predictor it says more than what I actually got please explain I cant file that I didnt receive the entire thing since I already filed my taxes for 2020

If you did not get the full 3rd stimulus check that you were entitled to, you can make that adjustment when you file your tax year 2021 return on the Recovery Rebate Credit section of that return.

It is taking longer than usual to get your refund because IRS is trying to do so many things at the same time. They are still processing paper 2019 returns.

Keep checking the Where's My Refund link like you have been and all of a sudden, there will be information for you.

Ok thank you for your reply. So I will have to wait till next year when I file my taxes to get the rest of my stimulus money then correct? Just trying to make sure I understand you right

That is correct. There will be a similar Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2021 Income Tax Return.
