Question

Does receiving a refund for a deceased person’s (my mother’s) final return take longer, even with form 1310 filed? The return was filed on March 25th.

Did you file on paper? If so, it will take longer.
If everything was in order, you should have been processed by now.
However, IRS does not commit to this, so you are still within the expected wait-time interval.

Yes I e-filed. At what point should I be concerned if I don't hear anything? Should I just keep checking where's my refund periodically on the IRS website?

If you e-filed, it is supposed to take even less time. Definitely call and see what they can tell you.

I am going through this exact same thing! I have called numerous times only to get 0 answers, no one can tell me anything. A couple reps told me I should have the refund by now, her return was received March 29th. All the stupid website says is "refund still being processed". I am going to my local IRS office for a 2nd appointment today. At the 1st appointment and 45 minutes in, she told me they were still within the allowed timeframe, come back in another 2 weeks and she could make a call to speed things up...we'll see. If I waited past the deadline and it was 14 weeks later, they would be up my ass with a microscope for their money!

I am still trying to get my deceased fathers 2019 refund . I have complied with everything they have asked for , did a virtual visit, and also a visit to the Rochester NY IRS building . they kept saying everything is in order and I would receive my dads check in 9-11 weeks. Then I get this letter stating their area of the IRS does not deal with a deceased parents refund and sent it to another dept. The letter stated Iwould get a call or letter from them in 45 days. Three weeks later still waiting to hear from them.  I believe they are stalling on purpose and will be shocked to see an actual check from them. Never have I seen a more incompetent system before!
