What does "Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available." Exactly mean?

[removed] how long does it take to fix an error lol

There are probably hundreds of thousands up to millions of people who filled early. Take your guess its the govt at work

[Tbasnar]

I’m going to say in the millions of people filed early and they are still processing 2019 federal refunds and absolutely it’s our government at its finest.

[Kandyrob]

I hope jt don’t affect my stimulus because I had a baby last year 😫

[Tbasnar]

I hope not and it shouldn’t because President Biden appointed someone to oversee and make sure that it gets done quickly and efficiently and done right.

I also filed early and Turbo Tax indicated that the IRS accepted return on 2/12. I have had the same exact message posted in the subject line going on the second week. I also checked my transcripts and it indicates that no return is present. I have also not received any irs correspondence by mail or other means.  I am beginning to think that the message in the subject line is the irs code for returns that are queued up or back logged.  The stimulus payments are only going to further exasperate the current returns fiasco.

Have you heard anything new? Mine is the same as your and I haven’t heard anything new .. still says “still processing “.

[Blackjacobin4]

No I have not received any change or any correspondence indicating there was a problem. My transcripts also indicate that the return is still being processed as there is no refund data in the transcripts. I wonder if tax filling software like Turbo Tax, H&R block etc are culpable for not informing that customers that refunds would not be issued in the normal timeframe given the IRS backlogs.

[Blackjacobin4]

I am wondering if the delay is due to the tax relief changes for unemployment benefits. The new stimulus bill makes up to 10,200 in unemployment benefits tax free. This change would be mean that those who have filed would not have this relief applied by TT or any tax preparation software.

Mine is still processing as well 2/12 submitted. Claimed missing 600.00 stimulus. I can not check transcripts since I do not have a mortgage, credit card number, or student loan. This sucks and I want answers.

Mine was accepted on 02/21 and turned to "Your tax return is still being processed". Should I look out for any mail from IRS or is this normal? Any leads any one?
