What do it means when it says it being process

Hello aprilsh3500!

Thank you for using TurboTax! I may need your clarification but I hope I am able to answer your question with this information. If I do not please feel free to comment back with more information. If you are referring to the status of your return.

Our support staff are unable to track down, research, or expedite your refund, as tax refunds are handled by the government.

The IRS releases most refunds within 21 calendar days after the e-file has been accepted (received), not 21 days from the e-filing date. For mailed returns, allow 5-6 weeks from the postmark date.

Wait 24 hours after your federal return has been accepted before looking it up at Where's My Refund? See also Where's My Refund FAQs.

If you claimed Earned Income Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) on my tax return

  • By law, the IRS is required to hold EITC and ACTC refunds until February 15. However, taxpayers may not see those refunds until the week of February 27 - if there are no processing issues with the tax return and the taxpayer chose direct deposit.
  • Where’s My Refund? will be updated on February 18 for the vast majority of early filers who claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit. Before February 18, some taxpayers may see a projected deposit date or an intermittent message that the IRS is processing their return.

Here is a link to the IRS.gov FAQ section for your reference.

Hope this helps! Best regards and thank you again for using TurboTax!

As of this afternoon, my return is pending to deposit in my account on the 22nd. WMR still doesnt show approved or a ddd. However, my financial institution shows it pending for Wednesday.

Well that's great as least we know you will be receiving your refund soon! More than likely the status will change tomorrow February 18th that is when the IRS is updating most statuses on Where's my refund. If it does not, then it would be best to contact the Internal Revenue Service.
