This means the IRS has your tax return and is processing it.

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

Are you getting EIC or the additional child tax credit?  If so, you are subject to the PATH hold.

 

If you are getting earned income credit on line 27 or additional child tax credit on line 28 You are subject to the delay required by the PATH act.  Do not expect your refund earlier than late February.

I am not getting EIC or the additional child tax credit. The pasy years I was getting my taxes way faster. Under 21 days.
