@jaquino91191 When the blue line/ bar is complete, it just means that the IRS has accepted your return. TurboTax gives estimates on your refund date based on the IRS 21 timeframe. For the most up to date information regarding your return you would want to check your status on the IRS Where’s My Federal Refund? site.
Please see the information below as to why you are seeing the message you mentioned above on the IRS Where’s My Federal Refund? site:
Taxpayers who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) may experience a refund hold. The IRS usually begins issuing tax refunds on returns with the EIC or Additional Child Tax Credit in late February.
Some 2019 federal refunds are delayed due to the PATH Act
Why do some refunds take longer than others?
