My return says transmitted what does that mean?

[TomK]

It just means that it was sent electronically to the IRS and is awaiting ACCEPTED or REJECTED.  The IRS will check that name matches social security number, the AGI and other things.  Until you get the notification that is it accepted by the IRS, it will not be processed."

To check your e-file status you can go to the following link: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

My Return was accepted on 1-21-22 and shows transmitted on 1-24-21, expected refund date 2-11-22.

I still have not received my return, it is still showing processing ? I filed electronically as well .

Thank you !

21 days is not a promise.  Some refunds take longer.

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2021 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

It does say accepted that’s why I’m so confused why it’s taking longer than 3 months to get

If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

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.
See this IRS website for federal tax refund FAQ's - https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions
