We filed in February of 2021 and never received our federal refund. It said processing until 2022 now it says no information. It’s like our money is gone.

That tool has been changed over to the 2021 tax year so you will no longer get updates on the 2020 return. 

 

Check your account transcripts instead :  

https://www.irs.gov/payments/your-online-account

 

 

If it has been shown up to now on the refund site then you know the IRS has your return and they are working on it.   

 

To call the IRS:IRS:  800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri

Listen to each menu before making the selection.

First choose your language. Press 1 for English.

Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.

Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".

Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  

Then press 3 "for all other questions."

Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent.
