Your tax return is being processed, which means that the IRS is checking it for errors.  When your tax refund is processing it means that the IRS is preparing your refund for deposit.  It can take some time and the best way to monitor the progress of your refund is to track it via the IRS site.

The IRS issues most refunds within 21 days of your return being accepted.

TurboTax tracks whether your federal tax return as been accepted or rejected, and gives an estimate on when you can expect to receive your tax refund.  Please see the following TurboTax FAQ for information on tracking your federal refund:

Where are you seeing that ?  When you log into the online program ?  Is that the status of the return?

The IRS Refund Timing page states the following:  if you claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), you can expect to get your refund by February 28 if:

However, some taxpayers may see their refunds a few days earlier. Check Where’s My Refund for your personalized refund date. Where's My Refund should show an updated status by February 18 for most early EITC/ACTC filers.

Additionally, your financial institution may need time to accept your direct deposit or issue a debit card. Many institutions don’t process payments on weekends or holidays. So, if you file early, be aware of federal and local holidays that may affect how soon you get your refund.
