Question

My federal refund is taking forever. I submitted on 3/3. I check "wheres my refund" site daily and no change. I tried calling but no one answers at the irs. Options?

I assume this is holding up our 3rd stimulus as well since that website says we qualified but no deposits yet.

The IRS is seriously backlogged due to all the new tax laws and extra stimulus filings, as well as unprocessed 2019 returns left over from the COVID shutdown. Lots of other folks are still waiting (some longer than you), so please continue to be patient. Also see:

At least 8 million tax returns are in limbo at the IRS because of the pandemic, delaying refunds (msn.com)

The IRS is sending out Stimulus #3 payments in batches, and will take a few weeks to complete them all. This one comes to you separately (and automatically), not as part of your 2020 tax refund. You can check the status here:

Thank you! I feel much better. This was the first year my husband has been an independent contractor/self-employed so I've been really worried that I screwed our taxes up. I'm fine with waiting...just not with worrying.
