Does IRS process returns on weekends

How long does it take to get return after it is approved?

wmr bar has been removed for two weeks now, without a tax topic. The amount of the return is still showing along with all the other information on the left side. Your tax return is still being process. It's been past 21 days. I tried to call but the are not taking live calls. Anyone else experience this? What does this mean. I need my money!!!

This is normal. However, Turbo Tax will not have a status on your refund. If the IRS website says processing, this means they are working on it.

Right now I don't understand why my tax refund is being held up from March 20th 2021 to now I have not received my refund from the federal government and I've been checking their app online and on my phone and there's no date been provided now it's June the 5th 2021 and I have not received my 2020 IRS federal tax refund can somebody please from TurboTax answer my questions because the IRS is not answering their phones is going straight to electronic system to answer the questions now they accepted it on your end on March 21,2021 and it keeps saying processing and my question is how is it still being processed and they accepted the returns can you please explain or can y'all get with the IRS to find out why tax refunds are being held up

I usually have to send my return to the IRS, and then they send me a refund. Never received a return from them before.

@TaxErreefund You posted to a thread that has had no activity since 2021.  Do you have a question we can help with at this time?

Of If I got a rejection and fixed the first but realized I spelled a last name wrong will they reject it again and allow me to fix that also? Please I’m worried to death I will have to mail them in. Thanks sooo much.

You may get Rejected again if a Last Name was misspelled.  The IRS computer matches the SSN with the last name, as listed in the Social Security data base.

 

If so, you'll be able to fix that and Efile again.

 

Most returns are able to eventually be Efiled, so don't worry.
