Understanding 'Still Processing' vs 'Processing' status - What's the real difference?
I need help understanding what's going on with my refund. Everyone keeps saying still processing and processing are different things? Can someone explain what these actually mean and if I should be worried about delays?

Let me clear this up: 'Still Processing' typically indicates your return needs additional review or verification. 'Processing' means your return is moving through the normal pipeline without any identified issues. If you see 'Processing,' you should see a DDD (Direct Deposit Date) soon after it switches to 'Refund Approved.

ā¢Not necessarily worry, but you might want to verify identity or watch for IRS letters.

guys i found this tool called taxr.ai that actually explains exactly whats happening with your refund. its only $1 and shows you everything wrong with your transcript. way better than guessing what processing vs still processing means tbh

ā¢Congrats! That's actually really helpful to know - gives me hope that my "still processing" might switch soon too. Did you do anything specific or just wait it out?
