This is an update on your status to let you know what to expect and possible delays. The status is for your "individual" tax return.

The PATH Act mandates that the IRS not issue a refund on tax returns claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit until Feb. 15. The additional time helps the IRS stop fraudulent refunds from being issued to identity thieves and fraudulent claims with fabricated wages and withholdings.
More information about this law is available on this information page

https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/path-act-tax-related-provisions

Shortly after that date you can go to the "Where's My Refund" page and check your status again.

For additional Refund Status questions please see the IRS Refund Help page at: https://sa.www4.irs.gov/irfof/lang/en/irfofonlinehelp.jsp
