Question

Can someone tell me why is it saying "still processing" my federal tax return that was accepted on 2-13-21? I have had no further updates.

I've never waited this long for my federal tax refund.

The IRS is seriously backlogged due to all the new work that Congress heaped on it, including extra stimulus filings, as well as a few million unprocessed 2019 returns left over from the COVID shutdown.  Lots of other folks are still waiting, so please continue to be patient.  Also see:
