What does refund has been processed mean compared to being processed

I HAVEN’T GOT MY 2021 Taxes yet and I want to know the status

What does refund has been processed mean compared to being processed

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted?
Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.

 

You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large Orange button labeled "Transmit my returns now".

 

After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

 

Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.

 

To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product.


If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - 
https://www.irs.gov/refunds


If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status -

It actually says approved if it’s accepted. Once it has been accepted the next step is it has to be approved. Once it’s approved they will give you a date when it will be deposited into your account. Most of the time it will be in your bank before that date. If it isn’t in your account by that date they tell you to call your bank to see if it was received.
