My best friend received this same message. She even filled out to have her federal and state direct deposit but they sent her state in a check yesterday. We are a little confused. Not to mention she filed a few days after me. I don't have the delayed message thing. Mine says "My refund is being processed" for the past 3 days now. I am very close to that 21 day mark and I am getting a little worried. I have never had so many issues. It is so frustrating this tax season. Honestly it makes me feel better to be able to post here and know I am not alone.

Update: just found out I'm being offset for a few hundreds dollars! So it might be a lot longer than expected not sure if this matter to anyone here just letting you all know

[Jerjer]

Oof. I still have the message up about mine. Really hoping mine will be here soon. Have to pay rent. 

[Stinagirl]

What was the topic number 

[Timmj]

Topic 152

[Stinagirl]

Really!!!! Omg

[Jerjer]

How are we suppose to see if the bar has moved when all it does is show the message? It’s exhilarating to see the bar move up into the approved spot and then to the sent spot lol

[Timmj]

Hang it up bro.....i filed two weeks before my sister her says processing mine still has that crap message we both have kids! Everyone is saying that topic 152 doesn't mean anything lol like hell it doesn't we probably won't see anything until late March or early April

[Timmj]

Update: I told you guys i was being offset but at least my status changed

[Timmj]

Now I fear tax topic 203

[Critter-3]

Nothing you can do but wait ... an offset can delay a refund by a couple of weeks.    https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc203

Checked my transcript. Said processing date is the 7th of March and maybe I’ll get it the 15th of April. I filed the 29th of January. I got the earned income credit, so I get I had to wait till after they lifted the hold on everything. But dear god. Why the hell file early when I have to wait till April!!  IRS man. They mess with the money that’s owed to you.
