Refund status still showing processing,m Just paranoid, e-file was accepted in Jan 26.

I think I am just being paranoid, but for real, on iRS page it’s stikk showing same message, we revived your refund and it’s still processing, the like for accepted is not highlighted, and on the other hand TurboTax shows return as accepted, IRS only indicates it was revived and it’s being processed.

Does it take minimum 21 days or maximum?  Anyone else has same status and e-file with direct deposit to their account?

Your return may be held up i f you claimed Earned Income/Child tax credit.

By law, the IRS cannot issue refunds claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) before mid-February. While the IRS will process those returns when received, it cannot issue related refunds before mid-February. The IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or on debit cards starting on Feb. 27, 2018, if they chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with the tax return.

There are a few ways you can track your tax return.
