I am unsure if this is what is happening to me as well. I electronically filed my returns on February 27th and received the "Great news" text that my returns had been approved by both federal and state. It took about a week longer to get the confirmation email (March 6th I received both of the emails) - my state refund has been direct deposited already (within a week of the email confirmation), but for some reason when I check the federal refund status it has changed from the 3 bar color coded (it said return received) , but now that "bar" is gone it just says that they are processing my return...it has said that for about 8 days now. People that mailed their returns after I electronically filed are getting their refunds already. Is anyone else running in to this problem? I see that there was "critical updates" to federal forms on Turbo Tax, but not sure they would affect my return or not. I am getting a little nervous that they are taking their time with my refund (filed married and joint and had the standard deduction)
