Question

Does anyone know why I might not have received my return even though it was accepted by the IRS on February 12th?

I received an email from TurboTax last week saying something about unemployment. The IRS refund tool has said "your refund is still processing. An estimated refund date will be provided when available". But it has been 6 weeks. Any ideas?

The IRS is seriously backlogged due to all the extra stimulus filings, as well as a few million unprocessed 2019 returns left over from the COVID shutdown. Contacting the IRS will not help, and the IRS has implored taxpayers not to call them. Lots of other folks are still waiting, so please continue to be patient. Also see:
