"Processing" as your status for your 2019 tax return is a frustrating status because what does that mean?! All that "processing" tells us is that your tax return has been received by the IRS but hasn't been finalized.
Imagine that it's somewhere in the middle of a big assembly line.
Unfortunately, right now, that line is moving somewhat slowly.
I can tell you more about what that status doesn't mean than what it does.
- It doesn't mean that you won't get your refund and that it's gone.
- It doesn't mean that you won't get your economic impact payment.
- It doesn't indicate that anything is necessarily wrong with your tax return.
January 30th was a long time ago, and you must be extremely frustrated by now.
At this point, I would suggest that you seek help from the Taxpayer Advocate Service(TAS) office that serves your area. It appears that not all offices of the TAS are open, but that some are.
You start that process by filing Form 911. You will find that form here: Request for Taxpayer Advocate Service Assistance. There is a link on the form itself to the website that will provide you with the contact number for the office closest to you.
Best of luck to you!
