After you file
Last year was the first time the status bar disappeared and I did not have any issues with getting my refund. This year may or may not be a coincidence. The IRS had a late start this year due to having to change their systems around for those who had to file to get their second stimulus check. I was on the IRS.gov website about 30 minutes ago and they have a message stating that there have been delayed status updates. Some people may still have the received status even after they get their refund.
This is a screenshot from the IRS website. I did read last month that anyone filing with EIC, EITC or CTC SHOULD expect their refund in the first week of March. If their depositing schedule has not changed then it should come on Wednesday's or Friday's. With tomorrow being Friday and being the last depositing day of the week I am hoping mine shows up. I am by no means an expert on the subject; I just read a lot. My answer is a educated guess from past experience and from what I have read on their website. I hope it has helped. Have a blessed day and good luck.
