Hi there, tomorrow is my expected refund date via turbo tax but the irs website says TAX RETURN STILL BEING PROCESSED, but turbo tax says it’s approved. Please help.

TurboTax can only indicate Accepted when the IRS receives the tax return.

Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.

Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.

If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds
If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899433-how-do-i-track-my-state-refund

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

I have the same issue. Processing. My return was actually part of the test batch accepted by the irs on January 13th. And nothing.

Yep. Filed 2/1 & accepted 2/1. When I check WMR I have the “your return is still being processed” message with no refund amount listed. I am expecting an offset. My transcripts say no rerun filed. 🙄 I’m anxiously awaiting my money.

The IRS transcript does not have a tax refund date.

Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.
