It's been 21 days and it's still saying my taxes are being processed. My amount I'm getting back in federal is in green number but I still do not have a date set to get them back. What could be the hold up

If you had EIC in your return this did delay returns this year due to the Path Act.

If the Where's My Refund website is still showing pending, the only thing you can do is wait.

Only the IRS will know when your refund will be issued.

If you are concerned about the status of your taxes and you are past the 21 day mark you should call the IRS to see if they can provide you with any additional information.

This is happening to me too. I got my state 2 weeks a go no problem but I'm still waiting for my federal. Its been over 21 days. I've called the irs no help. They just keeps saying it's still being processe. This is what I dont get this has never happen when I use the free turbotax I always got both returns quick but once I use turbotax deluxe I'm waiting longer.

You are always going to find someone else whose refund arrived faster, and someone who waited even longer than you. That is the way it goes. Returns are not processed “first in — first out.”

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 20 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.
