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

That link doesn't work. It's been over 16 days and no updates.

Please clarify what link you are using @xxbattousaixx904

I've been waiting for 3 weeks and nothing changed. The status is still proceeding. I'm getting tired of the b.s.

The IRS posted on their website "We are continuing to process tax returns, issue refunds and help taxpayers to the greatest extent possible." Please refer to the following link for an update on what's happening.

i filed my taxes on 2/1/2020 I got a date back 02/24/20 , I checked again on 2/17/20 bars disappeared and then it went to Your tax return is still being processed.A refund date will be provided when available. by then I was upset so I called IRS after waiting 1 hour and 27 min someone came on the line stating a letter will be sent it , I asked in reference to ? 1095A & 8962 forms needed to be faxed to them I did so they received the 2 forms on 03/03/2020 here I am still awaiting on my refund and now there is not a soul to answer the line concerning my taxes.

@Punkin8832  The IRS says to allow 4-8 weeks to process a return after receiving the 1095-A and Form 8962.

If your return is still in the processing stage and topics and bars disappearing mean the process is moving along.

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

During processing, the government reviews your refund. During the review process, they look for math errors on your return (extremely rare in TurboTax) and they also check if you owe back taxes, unpaid child support, or other debts. 

If they need to make any corrections, they may offset (reduce) your refund. In some cases, the correction might even increase your refund.

Once that part's done, the government approves your refund, which means it's ready to be deposited or sent.  At that point the IRS site will update with a direct deposit date.

My returns actually say the same thing. I am so bombed. And I don't have a insurance statement to submit so I have no idea what is going on. Guess I'll wait for my letter. Also my transcript says N/A.

I filed my taxes on Feb 24, 2020 and the IRS accepted it on Feb 28, 2020. I recieved my state on March 13, 2020 but when I check my refund status it keeps saying processing 

[tamerkurnaz1966]

Same thing is going on in here. I filed on 1/28/2020 and accepted at the same day. received my State refund within 2 weeks but not the Federal. So I waited and waited still was nothing. Last week got the letter CP05 notice dated 03/09/2020 for 60 days review; stated to wait and do nothing.

What about my money! I have a family to feed and bills to pay!

Help me guys!

Does anyone got CP05 notice and got their refund?

Turbo Tax will not have a status on your refund. If the IRS website says processing, this means they are working on it.

@taxpynamerican Unfortunately, the IRS is not taking calls right now.

The IRS issues most refunds in about 21 days, although some returns take more time to review. During processing, the government reviews your refund. During the review process, they look for math errors on your return (extremely rare in TurboTax) and they also check if you owe back taxes, unpaid child support, or other debts. 

If they need to make any corrections, they may offset (reduce) your refund. In some cases, the correction might even increase your refund.

Once that part's done, the government approves your refund, which means it's ready to be deposited or sent. At that point the IRS site will update with a direct deposit date. 

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

Continue to monitor your refund on the IRS Where’s My Federal Refund? site for updates. Updates are made daily, usually overnight. You may also download the IRS2Go app to check your Federal refund status.
