Tax return was accepted on Feb. 12th '19. Today when i checked the refund status bar was gone. Tomorrow will mark day 21 since i filed. Does this mean anything particular

Does this mean its in the steps of being approved finally? Or denied? Should i be happy or concerned. I know the irs cohld care less if i got my money within the 21 day period. But i got bills like everyone else too. Lol

I wouldn't be concerned yet, but I would be curious as well at this point if it were my refund. Since it has been more than 21 days (their recommended waiting time before calling), I would call the IRS and see if they can provide you with any updates.

Update: today i called the irs because it has now hit the 21 day mark. They told me my return is being reviewed currently and told me to do nothing. They said to call back 45 days from March 18th if i haven't heard or gotten anything back by then.. What on earth is that about? Does anybody have an answer for this?
