Accepted  by IRS 02/11,but my taxes weren't transmitted till 02/12. As of today the bar is now gone on "get my refund status" and gives that generated message " A refund will be provided when available." Yes, I have a child, but everyone else I know with kids got there's already and people who filed after me. Is this a turbo tax issue or IRS? And please don't copy/paste a link. I already called the IRS automated line, says being processed. This is my 1st year that this has happened. We were advised to file early and it seems like we are all just waiting now.

This is normal, especially when tax season first opens, and the main reason to file early is to head off any  identity thieves. See these:

Understood, but I am seeing this a lot for people accepted 02/11 using turbotax.

Mine is the same! My parents filled on 2/18 and already received theirs. My aunt filed, via Turbo Tax, on the same day and hers was deposited today. It’s frustrating!
