When the IRS says your tax refund is still being processed, it means that the IRS is still working on processing your return and is yet to either approve or reject it. The IRS will usually continue to process your return until it either approves or rejects it. During the processing period, you can track the status of your return on the IRS website.

How long should it say your tax return is still being processed?

Generally, it takes about three weeks for the IRS to process a tax return and issue a refund. However, if your return needs additional review, this processing time can take up to six weeks. You can check the status of your tax return on the IRS website.

Why does it say my tax refund is still being processed?

It may take several weeks for the IRS to process your tax return and issue a refund. This is due to the large number of returns the IRS receives each year, as well as the complexity of some returns. It is also possible that the IRS has identified an issue with your return that needs to be addressed before a refund can be issued. If you believe there is a problem with your return, contact the IRS directly to discuss the issue.
