So am i still getting my refund?

@manderson344690 If there is any amount still due you, the IRS will send it to you. They do not notify TT.

My taxes were accepted 1-28-22, on where’s my refund I have that notice that they’ve been delayed. I’ve checked my transcript many times only to find N/A for 2021, along with it saying my return was not being processed.  However this morning transcript has changed and is now there and is processing. I do have an adjusted amount as well. How soon will I receive my refund and will it still be direct deposit?

Once your return has been transmitted to the IRS, you are then on their timeline.  The best way to get the status of your refund is to check back periodically on the IRS' WMR site.  For more details on why some refunds take longer than others, please see this Help Article and this Help Article in regards to refunds taking longer than 21 days.

@patathlon No one in the user forum can see your tax return.   It sounds like the IRS has changed your refund and you will be getting less than you expected.  This can happen for reasons other than "owing" a debt for back taxes or child support.   A lot  (millions)   of people have made mistakes this year with the recovery rebate credit and/or the child tax credit.   Those mistakes have resulted in reduced refunds.    The IRS sends you a letter after they reduce your refund.

if your refund was short by $1400---it is likely to be a mix up regarding the 3rd EIP payment.   If it is short by $1800 or  $1500 or  a multiple of that amount  ---   maybe a mixup regarding the advance child tax credit payments. 

 Or---the fees you were supposed to pay for using TurboTax + the "refund processing fee" charged by the third party bank….

Did you choose to have TT fees deducted from your Federal refund?  (Remember that if you did that, you also agreed to an extra refund processing fee of $39.99 or $44.99 in CA)

How can I see my TurboTax  fees?

What is Refund Processing Service?

The IRS will send you a letter that explains why your refund was reduced.   Meanwhile it might help you to check your online IRS account.

If you need to trace a payment that the IRS says has been issued to you, mail or fax a completed IRS Form 3911, Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund.

Many taxpayers (and not just Turbotax customers) made errors on their 2021 returns.  As of April 7, the IRS had issued 9.4 million math error notices – and 8.3 million of these notices were related to the recovery rebate and the child tax credit.

What dose it mean adjustment refund eitc from Michigan department of treasury

[Tishae]

Will i be getting a refund

[xmasbaby0]

@Tishae TurboTax gets no information from the state after you file your tax return.   If the state has adjusted or changed something on your return, only the state can tell you if you are getting a refund.   They will be sending you a letter.
