I am having the same problem. All I have been told is because I had the EIC on my refund, is that they did not start processing anyone who filed early until after Feb 15th.My return was accepted Jan 31st and I still have not received it. Where'smy refund still says processing and refund date would be given when approved.Sorry this is not exactly great information, but hopefully we will all get it soon.
