The other day it said my payment would be here 3/29 but now all it says is processing? What does this mean?

Who said that?   TT refund dates are just estimates.  The IRS is seriously backlogged due to all the extra stimulus filings, as well as a few million unprocessed 2019 returns left over from the COVID shutdown.  In addition, the Where's My Refund site has been erratic and unreliable.  But if TT told you the IRS Accepted your filing for processing, then the government has it.  (Approved is a later step, but TT receives no further updates once Accepted.)  Contacting the IRS will not help, and the IRS has implored taxpayers not to call them.  Lots of other folks are still waiting, so please continue to be patient.  Also see:

It depends. Myself, I received a message saying my return was still processing even though it appeared in my Bank Account 4 days earlier. Their servers are not well-updated.
