When the blue line/ bar is complete, it means that the IRS has accepted your return and that you should have an estimated refund date soon(if you are expecting a tax refund). Please note that the IRS issues most refunds within 21 days of your return being accepted.

TurboTax tracks whether your federal tax return as been accepted or rejected and gives an estimate on when you can expect to receive your tax refund.  Please see the following TurboTax FAQ for information on tracking your federal refund:

Due to the PATH Act, some Federal refunds will be delayed. If you claimed the Earned Income Credit (EIC) or Additional Child Tax Credit, then you can expect to hear something around the end of February.

The blue line is full for me when I log in but still no return. The IRS hasn't given me any information either. When I look at the where's my refund or irs2go it just says processing. It's honestly pretty **bleep** annoying not being able to get any kind of answers that will ease my mind or help me know when my refund will hit. 21 days have come and gone. Don't even bother calling the IRS. They don't even give the option to speak to anyone.

With the IRS filing delay and backlog this tax season due to COVID closing the offices and leaving the IRS with very few employees working for the past year, the IRS has not stated how long it will take to deposit tax refunds. Your tax refund may be deposited in your bank account before the IRS has a chance to update your information on the Where's My Refund website
