Two of my friends claim eic put dependents and they got Approved like I don’t understand and I did my taxes before them I don’t have no bars No approval yet I’m worried

Don't worry yet as not everyone updated on 2/17. Keep an eye on Where's My Refund, and if it doesn't change and doesn't give you a direct deposit date by your 21 days, then give the IRS a call.

The thing is I did my taxes before them and I helped them do theirs they did theirs on February 5 and 6 and they already got their taxes approved and then two of my other friends I did on the same day as them And they got the same message as as mean no bars just Your tax return is still being processed.  A refund date will be provided when available , this worries me alot I claimed my son just like the kast 2 years and this was their first time doing taxes (my 2 Friends) and they claimed nieces and nephews and they got approved so I don’t understand if I’m getting audited or something was wrong with mine and other friends taxes,  i’m getting impatient and worried and pissed lol

The IRS does not process on a First In First Out basis.

Oh really I didn’t know I thought it was like that lol i hope tomorrow i see a change because im very worried, I got audited for my New York State return I called they said the only thing I had to turn in was my son’s birth certificate and his social , that’s all they need it and I was good so I don’t know if that’s why my federal taxes are taking forever and that’s why I don’t have no bars or anything This is so stressful like every year something different
