My tax return still says being processed

If you e-filed your tax returns, you can also click here e-file status lookup tool to check your e-file status. If you filed it successfully, you should see PendingAccepted or Rejected.

Here is the general timeline of e-filed returns:

Transmission > Acceptance > Processing > Approval > Refund.

After acceptance, but before processing the status may not be available. If you contact the government or try look up your refund status while your return is still pending, don't be surprised if they tell you "no record found." This is normal; until the government starts reviewing and processing your return, they won't have any record of it.   

You are able to track your return once it has been accepted. E-filed returns are typically accepted within 48 hours, but sometimes the IRS can take longer. Once you've confirmed your return has been accepted, you can begin to track your refund. The IRS issues most refunds in less than 21 days, although some require additional time. Please see below for more information on tracking your federal refund:

My tax return still says being processed

I am in the same boat as of 2/19 still just says received and processing! I can get my transcripts but not code 846 yet!

My tax return still says being processed

Same boat here as of 02/20/19- very frustrating!  Just says processing..... Mine was accepted 01/28/19.  I do not understand the hold up this year.  I always use Turbotax and same info. every year for the most part.

Me too and have for 16 years or more. It isn't turbotax it is the Irs, They are getting worse and worse every year IMO!  This whole Path Act B.S. is annoying you would think that since people with children need the money more they would get it first not last!

My tax return still says being processed

What is the Path Act ?   - Sorry I lost you there...  thank you if you can enlightened me a little here.

Mine was finally updated on Saturday to "Approved" and with an estimated refund date of 02/27/19. Check your status again to see if has changed.  I was shocked! Finally!!  Let's see if they def deposit it now.    😕

I checked with SBTPG this morning and they have received and sent out my refund but it isn't on my card yet but that is a great sign I may get it today! If not today then Definitely tomorrow! Good luck to all of you and I hope everyone gets theirs soon! Remember they don't update until Saturday so if you don't have any info you should by then!
