@mzmegan85 and @gabrielapho I had to go to my tax preparer and pick it up. I had direct deposit but the IRS sent it to his bank smh. Talk to them and they will tell you where it's being issued out at. I can't believe you guys hasn't received it, they are on some real screwed up mess this year

I filed on March 18th and still haven't received my return. Ugh, this is so frustrating especially when we do everything correct. I'm trying to stay positive but it's so difficult to do so. June 4th is my 60 day mark from receiving the letter of "further review" status still shows"still being processed." Oh my I just really wish they would hurry up.

Okay, wait.. I got an audit notice in the mail that looked pretty legit. However.. The irs.gov website says " being processed" with no path code. No bars but filing status, refund amount and last 4 of social on left gand side. So.. I do not believe this comment is 100% true

I e-filed my taxes through turbo tax since 1-28-20 and IRS website still shows me the "We have received your tax return and it is being processed.". It's never taken this long in the past. Should I be concerned since it's now been exactly a month since then?

No you should not be concerned it has been exactly 1 month and your status says your return is still processing.  In an attempt to protect individual tax filers, the IRS enacted the PATH act. This may be causing a slight delay for many tax filers.  See this FAQ for more information regarding  Where's my Refund.

What, then, should my wait time period be? What is an approximate date or time when I should expect an update or to be able to receive my refund? Please advise. Thank you.

Wait periods vary for each individual tax filer. Unfortunately, there isn't a standard time frame. You can contact the IRS directly for more questions about your return.

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.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.

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.
Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.
Then press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
It should then transfer you to an agent.
