My refund status bar is gone and it’s said this “your refund is still being processed a refund date will be provided when available” what does it mean? It’s said this for a week no

[Critter]

It just means you are somewhere in the processing phase between "accepted for processing " and " approved for refund dispersal "...nothing more nothing less. It would be nice if the IRS bar had more than 3 steps or a meter of some kind but alas that has not happened yet.

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.

See this IRS website for federal tax refund FAQ's - https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions

If over 21 days since being Accepted by the IRS and the tax refund is still Processing you can call the IRS and speak with an IRS agent concerning your tax refund.
