The IRS accepted my refund on 2/12/21 & as of today it hasn’t updated since, just says you tax return isbeing processed whenever I check. Is there any other way to check?

It doesn’t say it has any errors or being held it just stays “ still being processed”

No, because it is still being processed.  The IRS is seriously backlogged due to all the extra stimulus filings, as well as a few million unprocessed 2019 returns left over from the COVID shutdown.  Contacting the IRS will not help, and the IRS has implored taxpayers not to call them.  Lots of other folks are still waiting, so please continue to be patient.  Also see:
