Processing simply means that the IRS is working on your return, it is the stage after accepted and before being approved.   Here is more information on what's happening with your return

There is no set amount of time for this process to occur and the IRS does not update TurboTax on what is happening during this time period.  

While most refunds are issued within 21 days, sometimes there can be delays. Also, the IRS does not work on a first in/first out basis.   Therefore, you can not judge when you'll get your return based on when someone else got theirs.

Please see the following information about contacting the IRS if it has been more than 21 days:

Actually no , it can also mean they will be sending a letter to you regarding 12c form. So I would call and ask if your return is stuck in processing without any update. I was told today a letter was sent to me on the 18th and its 26th no letter.
