What does it mean when your
tax return is still being processed?
It simply means the IRS has your tax return and it has passed
the initial computer check. Your tax return is now either in line to be processed
for accuracy or is now being checked for accuracy. As soon as the IRS
determines there are no errors, the IRS will authorize payment and give an
approximate refund date.
Use the IRS Where's My Refund site for
the latest word on your federal tax refund, and your state government's
refund lookup service for
the latest on your state refund.
Due to the PATH Act, some Federal refunds will be delayed. If
you claimed the Earned Income Credit (EIC) or Additional Child Tax Credit, then
you can expect to hear something around the end of February. Please see the

Here is the general timeline of e-filed returns:
Transmission > Acceptance > Processing > Approval >
Refund.
