I filed my electronic tax return (federal and state) 5 weeks ago. I already received my state refund but federal return says still processing. What do I do? I have text stating my federal return was accepted but never received an email. IRS website says still processing. It has been 5 weeks. I tried to call but due to high call volume IRS just disconnects. What is my next step?

Even though the IRS has accepted(received), it has not yet approved the return. 

 

See: My return is accepted but still not approved. Is there a problem? Should I be worried?
