Unfortunately, the IRS phone service is down due to COVID-19.  

 

If the IRS webpage still says your return is "processing", that means that your refund has not yet been "approved".  There are a few things that may be affecting the processing time of your return.  But until the IRS webpage says your refund has been issued, you'll still be waiting.  Once your refund has been issued, you should expect your check in the mail within a few days.  

 

Here's a TurboTax FAQ that may help explain the delay in approving your refund.

 

Why do some refunds take longer than others?
