Ok I E-filed and IRS accepted it on the 1/22/20 I thought was wired because they said they was not a accepting until the 27th. I looked at where’s my refund on the 1/25/20 it had one bar said was accepted. On 2/5/20 it went to the PATH act and stayed like that until 2/16/20 Message changed to we received your refund and is processing no bars nothing. My turbo tax says refund expected on 2/12/20 obviously that didn’t happen been way past 21 days. Has anyone else have this problem?

If your WMR status says "still being processed" you need to call the IRS. My daughter filed before my son and that's what hers said and come to find out she has to id verify. My son filed begining of feb and got his id verify letter before his sister and his status just changed to "being processed" my daughter is still waiting on letter to verify id. It's bs.

Same issue here. 

I filed my tax return jan 25. They excepted jan 27, and didn't tell me it would be delayed by the child tax credit, earned income credit, and new identity theft laws. I had to do some digging with the IRS but I finally got responses from them saying they wouldn't release any returns containing the CTC or the EIC until the first to second week of March! 😲 I was like your kidding the ones that typically claim those credits are the ones that usually need it the fastest to take care of their children...

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.
See this IRS website for federal tax refund FAQ's - https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions
If over 21 days since being Accepted by the IRS and the tax refund is still Processing you can call the IRS and speak with an IRS agent concerning your tax refund.
Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.
Then press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
It should then transfer you to an agent.

By chance did you have a 1095 A form to fill out, if so, IRS is requiring people to submit their 1095 A form before refund is issued. This happened to me. Filed 1-12-20 accepted 1-27 and just got a letter on 2-22 asking for me to submit my 1095A form and a 8962. There are also people that are having to submit proof of identity.. Good luck

You can check to see if your return was successfully filed, check your e-file status. If no status is showing then the return was not completed and submitted. 

If you don't see a status, go through the TurboTax File section again. Be sure to go all the way to the end and select Transmit my returns now.

If your return does show a status, then once "Accepted" within 24 hours you can start tracking your refund on the IRS  Where’s My Federal Refund? site.

Where’s My Refund? has a tracker that displays progress through 3 stages:

(1) Return Accepted "Received," (2) Refund Approved and (3) Refund Sent.

The IRS expects to issue most refunds in less than 21 days after being accepted. Turbotax gives an estimated date based on the IRS's 21 day timeframe. So it all depends on the IRS and how fast your tax return moves along in the system. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS.

When will I get my IRS tax refund?
