Did you open an IRS ID.me account? Here is the link to do that if you haven’t already:

If you did that, then you have to reach out to the IRS TaxPayer Advocate Service. Here is the link for that — along with a warning that they are also backed up.

Do you know of any reason your return would have been delayed in processing?
Did you file electronically with a receipt? Did you mail the return by certified mail with a receipt?
Did you put direct electronic deposit info on your return for your refund?
If so, did you change bank accounts?
Did you move – and could the check have been sent to the wrong address?

It would be helpful to have all this information — and a copy of your tax return — when you get through to the Taxpayer Advocate office.
