Does anyone know why Turbo Tax would show my refund date as 3-9-21 but the IRS refund tool still shows processing?

Please be aware some returns take longer to process. Please see What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days? for information what to do and why it might take longer.

 

Also, you can track your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site.

When I track my refund it just says still processing and it has been well over 21 days. Turbo Tax showed my refund should be deposited on March 9th but still nothing.

The refund date TurboTax provides is only an estimated date. Once your return has been transmitted to the IRS and accepted, TurboTax no longer receives updates. The IRS is experiencing a delay in processing returns. You can also try calling the WMR Hotline at 800-829-1954 for updated status as well.
