Question

Federal return was accepted on 2/12 and still have not received it. Anyone else seeing a significant delay? Is it due to the stimulus?

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:
