What are the chances of getting my return this week sometime?

[Rinjak]

So I know this is pretty vague and a lot of different variables, me and my family have not received our refund yet (really hoping it’s this week) we do have the two credits that prolonged our return but now we are in the first week of March, my status bar on the irs website is gone and it says my return is being processed and a date will be provided when available, anyone else in the same boat that maybe got theirs recently? Just looking for a little peace of mind lol

FROM THE IRS:

Please note that the IRS says its own system is lagging and you do not need to call the IRS about your refund.

TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  Many refunds are taking longer during the pandemic. 

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

 If accepted, they try to process it within three weeks but it can be longer.  if you have earned income credit or additional child tax credit, it will be at least the end of February before you see your refund, due to the PATH act that requires that they hold your refund longer.

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 34of your 2020 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

Personally, I wouldn't hold my breath. The status bars disappear after 21 days, even if the IRS is still processing your return. There are a lot of delays this year.
