Why haven't I received a date for my return

My return says still processing but no date

You will get a date when the IRS is ready to give you one.

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.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS. 

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

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 35a of your 2022 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.

OR——if you filed by mail, expect a long wait.   It is taking the very backlogged IRS six to nine months to process mailed returns.   Until a human opens your envelope and enters the data into the system, nothing will even show up on the refund site, so you will have to be very patient.

If you are getting earned income credit on line 27 or additional child tax credit on line 28 You are subject to the delay required by the PATH act.  Do not expect your refund earlier than late February.

If Where’s My Refund? says your return is processing with no date it means the IRS pulled your return off the assembly line and is looking at it.

That doesn’t mean you’ll get audited. The IRS may be correcting something or it may be verifying your identity. There’s no way to know why it’s in processing or how long the process will take because there is no standard time.

Even if you call IRS at 1-800-829-1040, they may not be able to tell you if your return is sitting on a pile on someone’s desk.

When to Call IRS

Call IRS about your refund status only if Where's My Refund directs you to contact IRS.

If Your Refund Is Delayed

Your refund may be delayed if your return needs corrections or extra review. If IRS needs more information to process your return, IRS contact you by mail.
