I filed my taxes February 7th and they were accepted but they r still saying being processed don’t know if there is a problem or not

Even though the IRS issues 9 out of 10 tax refunds within 21 days, it's possible your return may require additional review and take longer to process. There are several reasons that may be causing a longer processing time on your return, which is normal right now. Please see the information below:

For some taxpayers, PATH Act requirements and other identity-protection safeguards implemented by the IRS may account for longer wait times. (Earned Income Tax Credit (EIC) and/or Additional Child Tax Credit)

Other things that can delay your refund include but are not limited to:

• Liens, back taxes, or refund offsets;
• Errors, inconsistencies, or missing information;
• Identity fraud;
• Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation, which can take 11-14 weeks to process.

Also, if you chose direct deposit, your financial institution may need another day or two to post the refund to your account, so keep that in mind.
