That is the general status for most filers at this time.

Some tax returns take longer to process than others for many reasons, including when a return:

  •     Includes errors
  •     Is incomplete
  •     Is affected by identity theft or fraud
  •     Includes a claim filed for an Earned Income Tax Credit or an Additional Child Tax Credit.
  •     Includes a Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation, which could take up to 14 weeks to process
  •     Needs further review in general


Also, the IRS will hold refunds for EITC and ACTC-related tax returns. The refunds for these Returns cannot be processed by the IRS until Feb. 15th. Even after this date it will take a few day for the IRS to process. Those refunds won't be disbursed until February, 27th.
