I received my state refund.  When I checked my federal refund status today, there was no information.  Previously when I checked, it was still being processed.

It depends. 

 

The IRS issues a lot of refunds within 21 days, but it has been taking longer with the stimulus payment being issued in addition to the tax refunds.

The online link is your best option to track your refund.  I have attached a link with more answers from the IRS as to why your refund may be taking longer to process.

Also, be aware, the IRS operations have been limited during the Covid-19 pandemic.  Attached is a link with more information as to what departments are available to contact at the moment.
