I filed 1040ez with standard deductions on Jan 29. I was checking everyday and on Feb 1st the Refund Status showed my return was received. Around Feb 15th, the status bars disappeared and the "your tax return is still being processed" message was in its place. Waited 21 days from the date it was received before I was going to call the IRS but on Feb 22nd the status bars returned. My refund was approved and scheduled for direct deposit on Feb 27th.
