We apologize, but your return processing has been delayed beyond the normal timeframe.

I’m with you I’ve been checking and I was supposed to receive my refund on 212 2026 and all I get is delayed under normal circumstances that’s crazy

We apologize, but your return processing has been delayed beyond the normal timeframe.

 Not sure where you saw that you are "supposed" to get your refund on 2-12----but only the IRS is in control.   You should only pay attention to the date and information shown on the IRS refund site. 

TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS. 

 

 

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

 

 

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2025 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:
