First totally ignore the TT blue bar ... it is generic in nature and means nothing to an individual.
Only check with the IRS for your status ONCE a day ... if you check too often you can get locked out for 24 hours.
When checking on the status of your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund (WMR) site, you may get the message: We cannot provide any information about your refund. This is normal especially during high usage times or when your return is between departments as it processes thru the system.
