Federal - Where is my IRS refund?
It’s taking The IRS more than 21 days (and up to 90 to 120 days) to issue refunds for tax returns with the Recovery Rebate Credit, Earned Income Tax Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit.
What You Will Need
When Should You Call the IRS?
You should call us only if:
- It’s been 21 days or more since you e-filed

Some tax returns take longer to process than others, including when a return:

- Is incomplete
- Is affected by identity theft or fraud
- Includes a claim filed for an Earned Income Tax Credit or an Additional Child Tax Credit using 2019 income.
- Includes a Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation PDF, which could take up to 14 weeks to process
- Needs further review in general
