You’re not alone I am currently having that same problem. I filed mine January 21 and was excepted February 12. The IRS should have both my federal and state. My federal is highlighted green with the amount of $1800, theres is not an amount on the state part. As of 2-3 weeks ago the bar became all blue and that was the last update I’ve seen. It still says the same thing when I log in and it has been well over 21 day. When I try the where my refund and the other tools they both say refund is still being processed and a date will be available blah blah blah. I need some help badly please anyone.
The IRS does not have your state tax return. If you e-filed the state tax return and it was accepted by your state then use this TurboTax support FAQ for checking the status of a state tax refund - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899433-how-do-i-track-my-state-refund
The date you see on the TurboTax Tax Home web page is only an Estimate of when the tax refund will be issued based on the IRS Target if issuing a tax refund within 21 days after the tax return is Accepted by the IRS.
The IRS is extremely backlogged with prior year 2019 tax returns, 2020 tax returns, stimulus payment processing and the requirements put on the IRS by the Congress for the American Rescue Plan Act.
After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.
