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

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?

Did you ever receive your refund after the 60 day? I had the same problem and my 60 days was Monday the 13th. Being whats going on with covid19 the irs dont have live reps.

files Jan 17th and nothing yet...I feel its due to the IRS fraud check that they do but cant confirm my identity due to IRS on permanent vacation.

I am seeing the same message for about 10 days now. Its been about a month when I filed my taxes. It seems lot of people are seeing similar message at this time. If there is an issue with the taxes, I would expect a communication from IRS saying why my taxes are delayed. But nothing yet and now I am uncertain when I will get my refund in this difficult time.

@jcbose This message means the IRS is still reviewing your tax return and have not yet approved your refund. You will receive a letter in the mail if the IRS requires any additional information from you to continue processing your return. If this happens, refer to the following page to get help with your IRS letter: https://support.turbotax.intuit.com/irs-notice/audit-support/

@DaraLO Thanks for your comment. I understand that, but what I expect from IRS to communicate (especially when it is past 21 days) with a time limit for this processing so that we will know it will happen by 2 days or 2 months. I wouldn't be worried if I am not getting back a good chunk of money from IRS.

It means the IRS has not finished processing your return. When they are finished, if the refund is approved, the IRS WMR tool will say it's approved and a refund date will be displayed.

Moreover, there can be additional delay due to the Coronavirus situation and its effect on staffing at the IRS.

Yes I don't understand why my taxes or stimulus hasn't hit my turbo card yet...my taxes was accepted March ,13. I'm sure I did all of my taxes right...I am out of a job that I just got hired so I can't file for unemployment..child support is down because his out of a job as well .. I'm sleeping on a friend's couch with other kids in the house.. no peace at all and my two year old behavior is starting to get worse... I'm relying on this money to put my first month and last months down...and have a house full of nice things. Please help me understand what is going on here....

I'm wondering if someone should notify the news stations? This hold up on processing our federal income taxes is really hurting us all financially.

Yes, it's frustrating to see nothing about this in the news. The official word is that they are "still processing refunds." Could have fooled me.

I filed with h&r block on April 17 and 7 days later received the state refund not federal nor stimulus. Seeing all these comments sucks I knew it wasn't gonna be that easy.

The only thing I can say is call the irs advocate number. They can help you find out anything. Let them know your having a hard time and they can help expedite your taxes

Mailed in my 2018 taxes on 3/28

Sent in my 2019 taxes electronically on 3/30 (accepted on 3/31)

I have a SSN (permanent legal alien) and my kids and wife have ITIN's - have not received stimulus.

we file jointly and my AIG is below 150K

have not received my 2018 or 2019 refund -

WMR tool for 2019 says

Your tax return is still being processed.

A refund date will be provided when available.

Stimulus tool says

Payment Status Not Available

We are unable to provide the status of your payment right now because:

We don't have enough information yet (we're working on this), or
You're not eligible for a payment.

@taxesq

Hate to be the one to tell you but you don't qualify for the stimulus. U stated your wife has ITIN. That automatically disqualifies you. You need to be a legal resident to receive the stimulus. So your kids and wife disqualify you the legal resident. Its stupid but that's how the law was written!!!

Filed 3/20 and accepted by IRS. Refund still says processing. Never had to wait this long for a refund. Only difference this year was I had an EV credit.... not sure if that’s the hold up. No letters, nothing from the IRS
