It is possible that the IRS has put the status of your return is received and being processed. That just means that they have received and are reviewing your return. Just because the IRS has said they will not begin processing returns with EIC and ACTC until February 15th or after, that does mean that they cannot start the process of reviewing some of these returns. It also does not mean that you will get a refund any sooner. It just means that they have received and are reviewing the return and that is all.
