This year it seems to be a lot more common for refunds to take months instead of days.  You would need to contact the IRS at 800-829-1040 to find out what is happening with your return

 

What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?

I have the same situation.  Filed in February and the IRS refund tracker says “a refund date will be given when available”.  I’ve tried calling the 829-1040 number but never get a live person.  How do I reach a human?

    Your refund may be delayed if your return needs corrections or extra review. If they need more information to process your return, they'll send you a letter.   Why your refund might be taking longer

     

    Call the IRS about your refund status only if Where's My Refund recommends you contact them.

    I'm also in that same situation!  I guess just more wait and see...
