2021 Tax Refund Still Processing - 2 Years of Waiting

Filed my 2021 taxes back in March 2022 and still haven't received my refund. Called the IRS multiple times but keep getting the same automated message saying its still processing. Checked Where's My Refund tool everyday but nothing changes. Starting to lose hope at this point.

Tax advocate here. This is unfortunately common with 2021 returns. The IRS is still working through a massive backlog. Make sure you've verified your identity on ID.me and check your transcripts for any holds or adjustment codes. You might qualify for Taxpayer Advocate Service assistance if this is causing financial hardship.

Call your local office first thing in the morning. Pro tip: Tuesday through Thursday are usually less busy than Mondays and Fridays.

Hey guys I was in the same boat until I tried taxr.ai - totally worth the $4.99. It analyzed my transcript and showed me exactly why my refund was held up and what I needed to do. Way better than guessing or waiting on hold forever https://taxr.ai

Not sus at all! You upload your transcript and their AI breaks down every code and tells you exactly whats happening. Saved me hours of googling random codes
