In Process' means your state is still processing your E-filed State Return. Once they have finished processing it, they will give you an expected refund date.

In my case - it was VA state tax (not CA). The VA return was transmitted to VA state - but after a couple of weeks, VA rejected it. Then the email from Intuit about the software bug.

Since Fed and State submitted at the same time - and the Fed was accepted 2 hours after transmission - it is still being processed. But is it hung and needs to be rejected by Fed so that Turbotax can reopen the return - allows Turbotax software updates, then retransmit.

I am questioning whether the Turbotax software bug was applicable only to VA state or to both VA state and Fed returns. Again submitted on Feb 14.

@amy00269 The IRS can research the status of your refund if it has been more than 21 days. Call 1-800-829-1040. Also check Where’s My Refund.

@goku9 If the IRS does not have your 2020 information by the time it's your turn to send out stimulus checks, then they will use 2019 tax information.

We Efiled our return through TurboTax in mid February and it shows IRS accepted. We've still not gotten our refund. Says "pending". Find it odd that it's after 21 days and still not finished processing. Typically we get our refund within days using efiling. Are other folks experiencing the same? Thanks

Sadly, the IRS refund site has been behaving erratically and has not always reliable this year. TurboTax has no control over this and cannot find out anything about your refund for you.

https://www.irs.gov/refunds

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/taxes/the-irs-is-behind-in-processing-nearly-7-million-tax-returns-slowing-refunds-as-it-implements-new-stimulus/ar-BB1excvi?ocid=msedgdhp

TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer. “21 days” is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS. Many refunds are taking longer during the pandemic. The IRS is backlogged —-they are still trying to process millions of 2019 returns; they received millions of e-filed on the day they opened for 2020 returns, and now they are burdened with sending out another round of stimulus checks.

Some delays are resulting from incorrect amounts that folks entered for stimulus checks they received. Many people have been confused by the recovery rebate credit and completed it incorrectly. The IRS may delay your refund while they cross-check to see what you received.

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 34of your 2020 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

My status has been saying that “my taxes is still being processed” fir a while now?

@Stimulus21 If you taxes are still being processed it means the IRS is still looking at your tax return. The IRS took 29 million tax returns offline for manual processing.

Common reasons are because the stimulus payments claimed on the return do not match IRS records or 2019 income was used for the Earned Income Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit. The IRS computers were not set up to verify those amounts.

The IRS can research the status of your refund if it has been more than 21 days since your return was accepted and you still have not gotten your money. Call 1-800-829-1040. Be aware. The phone lines are backed up. The IRS opens at 7 a.m. local time in every time zone. The earlier you call, the better your chance of speaking with someone.

What does, “Your tax return is being Processed mean”?

152 is not necessarily a bad code, it means it's still processing. There's even some still processing from 2019. It can be frustrating to wait so long but 152 code is better than 151.. hopefully it all means we'll be guaranteed a refund in 2021. There's alot of factors holding everything up. So if it's been passed 12 weeks from filing. Time to Call, if you've already called and been waiting, months after maybe write the IRS a Letter ( just stating your case) or that you need to be informed as your transcript isn't showing reasons for being held up. They may simply want you to Mail it in, which takes longer. I would just follow thier advice. Hope that helps, Good Luck!

God be praised, I finally got the update and it is approved and scheduled. I filed it on 2/22/2021. I called IRS last week to check if they need anything from me. The rep on the phone said no nothing on your end just wait it out, and today morning the status bar shows up with the new update.
