Tax season is entering crunch time — with the deadline just over three weeks away — and people who filed earlier in the window may wonder why a return is taking so long to process.
The IRS has received 1.7% fewer returns this tax season but has processed 2% fewer returns this year compared to 2023, according to Forbes.
This year's tax filing window is narrower as it opened a week later and will close nine days sooner than in 2023.

The tool updates once a day.
The IRS says that tax returns can be delayed for the following reasons:
The average tax refund issued by the IRS as of March 1 is $3,182, a 5.1% increase compared to the similar filling period in 2023. The trend may not hold as refund amounts dropped 13% between March and April, according to Barrons.
