Federal Refund Status IRS

Hello So I am very concerned about past few days ago before The 21st I've been checking the IRS Web tool and it said "processing" and refund date will be given to me. Now its February 21st and going back to checking again on this date its now not showing any record of my federal refund or saying incorrect information what is going on?? I've filed February 3rd and I got accepted February 4th. I have ko children nor filed for the Earned Income Tax Credit.  So should I be expecting my deposit to come in by tonight or the 25th this is insane!

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.

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 20a of your Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

On the IRS site you are also offered the use of an app called IRS2Go

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.
