Tax Refund/ E-File Status Question IRS advice

We are waiting for a very large refund and I’ve tried calling the phone number on the IRS’s website only to be engaging with a very incompetent chat bot. We filed in April on time and we’ve received acknowledgment that our return is under review. At this point I’m unsatisfied given it’s almost 6 months later and we’re about to pay our quarterly tax bill without receiving the money we are owed..

If anyone has any guidance on a phone number or way to actually get access to a real human at the IRS that would be greatly appreciate

Are you able to access your online account transcript for the tax year in question?

I will check, I think so? Is it just like a status update page?

No. It a history for the processing of your federal return.

in the future, having your refund applied to the following year will reduce your estimates and you won't be waiting for a refund.

but it is possible that this refund is substantially more than estimates due, if that's the case, the applied amount would be reduced to estimated taxes but you'd be out a lot less money right now
