I am trying to get a status on my federal refund. I submitted my federal return on 2/14 and I received a confirmation email that it was accepted by the IRS. I logged in today (3/12) and it cannot find my return. I am entering my SSN and the correct refund amount. I'm concerned that the IRS does not really have my return.

Please see Why is there no record of my return at Where's My Refund (WMR)? for reasons why you may be unable to track the status of your refund. You can also try calling the WMR automated hotline at 1-800-829-1954 to check the status of your refund.

Refunds usually take about 21 days after the IRS has accepted your e-filed return. Although, sometimes it can take longer. The IRS is taking more than 21 days (and up to 90 to 120 days) to issue refunds for tax returns with the Recovery Rebate Credit, Earned Income Tax Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit. Please see What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days? for more information.
