I filed my return on 4/14/07 and still have not received my refund, it's now the 22nd of June. I've called and they've told me things look fine. I've looked up my refund status and it gives me reference #1201. Would it be worth it if I contacted a professional accountant??

Sorry I guess I should say I'm asking for my boyfriend since I'm getting answers such as QYB. I'm not b****ing, just asking a question.

You filed on April 14th.
When you file that late, it takes longer, as they are extremely busy, and the returns they are getting at that time are always more complicated.
It should be coming along very soon... if you dont see it by July 1, then call the IRS.
You dont need an accountant. It would just be a waste of money, as there are no disputes, and you already filed. All they can do is the same thing you can do yourself... call.
You are asking government employees to do their job... and they will do it.... at the speed of government.

You filed the day before the deadline and you're complaining? It takes 6 - 8 weeks for a paper return filed by mail early in the season. When you wait until the end of the tax season, it can take up to a month longer or more. You'll just have to be patient.
Contacting a tax pro won't help. They'll just tell you what I just did. I've researched the 1201 code and it appears to be a general processing delay code. About what would be expected for a return filed near the deadline.

Call 1-800-829-4477 and request a check date. Since it has been at least 4 weeks since you filed, they should be able to give you either a check date or an explanation on what reference #1201 means.
I wouldn't contact a professional accountant unless they can't give you an answer to either of those questions.

QYB = Quit your bit*hing.
You filed a day before the deadline. Since you did not received your refund by June 1, you will earn interest on the refund until they issue the refund.
If you would have filed your taxes on Feb. 1, you still would not have received the refund until the end of Feb. or the beginning of March at the earliest.
Next time, either file really early or file electronically.
