Should my refund status say it's being processed if it's been 21 days?

If so, does that means it's bad news?

Should my refund status say it's being processed if it's been 21 days?

Even though the IRS issues 9 out of 10 tax refunds within 21 days, it's possible your return may require additional review and take longer to process.

For some taxpayers, PATH Act requirements and other identity-protection safeguards implemented by the IRS may account for longer wait times.
