My Federal and State ( OK ) was accepted on 2/12 and I still not received my Federal. State came in one week. It has never taken this long: does anyone have any advice

How long after acceptance should I contact the IRS about my federal refund?

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 it has implored taxpayers not to call.  Lots of other folks are still waiting, so please continue to be patient.  Also see:
