WMR Bars disappeared. Is this bad?

Hello! We filed our taxes 3/4 accepted the same day. Today when I checked the status is gave me this message:Refund Status Results

Your tax return is still being processed.

A refund date will be provided when available.

Please Note:

For refund information, please continue to check here, or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day.

We are overseas, calling the states is expensive and hard. I called yesterday and they told me to call after Sunday which wpuld be the 21st day after being accepted. I'm just really concerned, if there's something wrong why can't we know right away to make the correction? Btw no letters as of yesterday

No, this is not bad, it is completely normal while the IRS is processing your return. The IRS releases most refunds within 21 calendar days after the e-filed return has been accepted. If there is anything needed or if your return is rejected, you will be notified. As of right now, from what you show above this is all normal processing. There are some things I have listed below that can account for longer processing time by the IRS.

The IRS updates every 24 hours so keep an eye on your status, you should see an update soon.

Here is the general timeline of e-filed returns:

Transmission > Acceptance > Processing > Approval > Refund.

Even though the IRS issues 9 out of 10 tax refunds within 21 days, it's possible your return may require additional review and take longer to process.

For some taxpayers, PATH Act requirements and other identity-protection safeguards implemented by the IRS may account for longer wait times. (EIC or Additional Child Tax Credit)

Other things that can delay your refund include but are not limited to:

Liens, back taxes, or refund offsets;
Errors, inconsistencies, or missing information;
Identity fraud;
Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation, which can take 11-14 weeks to process.

Also, if you chose direct deposit, your financial institution may need another day or two to post the refund to your account, so keep that in mind.

It's been over 21 days though. I'm so confused and finding different answers. Some say error on return, some say review. I am getting tax topic 152 under it which is basic refund info.

If you have claimed EIC or Additional Child Tax Credit (PATH Act requirements) this would be the reason you have code 152, which is taking longer than 21 days for the IRS to review.

Everyone is experiencing long processing time from the IRS, if they claimed EIC or Additional Child Tax Credit. Next step will be for the government to Approve and send your refund.
