2/27 Tax Return Still Processing - No Refund Date After 21 Days on WMR Tool

I filed on February 27th and when I check my Where's My Refund status, it's showing "Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available." The message specifically tells me to "see our Refund Frequently Asked Questions" for information about processing delays. I keep checking WMR and IRS2Go multiple times per day, even though the IRS note says they only update refund status once a day. I just checked again at 10:12 and the full message on the Refund Status Results page says: "Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available. For more information about processing delays, please see our Refund Frequently Asked Questions." There's also a note at the bottom that says: "Please Note: For refund information, please continue to check here, or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day." I've been checking the "Get Refund Status" section constantly, and there are buttons for "Refund Help," "Take Survey," and "Log Out" on the page, but I don't know if clicking "Refund Help" will give me any more information than what I already see. Not sure if I need to verify my identity or if it hasn't been 21 days yet. The WMR tool just keeps showing this processing message with no actual refund date provided. Anyone else get their refund without having to do anything extra, or are you all stuck at this same processing message too? I thought maybe after clicking around the site I'd get more details, but it's the same message every time.

The WMR screenshot shows you're currently in the standard processing phase, displaying the common "still being processed" message. This is the typical status you'll see during the normal processing window, which is still ongoing since your February 27th filing date. The OCR reveals several important details: - The time stamp (10:12) indicates a recent check of your status - The system is showing the standard processing message without any error codes or alerts - The reminder about updates occurring "no more than once a day" confirms that checking multiple times daily won't reveal new information The absence of any specific error messages or action items in the OCR is actually positive - it suggests your return is simply moving through normal processing channels. The interface is showing all standard elements (Refund Status, Help, Survey options) without any special notices or warnings that would indicate problems requiring identity verification or additional documentation. Continue checking WMR once daily - multiple daily checks won't provide new information since the IRS explicitly states in the message that updates only occur once per day. Most returns filed in late February are still within the standard 21-day processing window for receiving their refunds.

I'm in the exact same situation! Filed on 2/28 and still getting that "still being processed" message on WMR. It's so frustrating seeing some people who filed around the same time already getting their refunds while we're stuck waiting. I've been trying not to check it obsessively but it's hard when you're expecting that money. At least we know we're not alone in this - seems like a lot of late February filers are still waiting. Hopefully we'll see some movement soon! 🤞
