If your status says "we have received tax return and it's still being processed"
Don't panic, the IRS announced an estimate that most people claiming the EITC or ACTC will get their refunds by March 1st
The most accurate way to check the status of your refund is not by using the Where's my refund tool
Instead, you are going to want to view your 2021 Record of Account Transcript and look for code 846
How do I view my transcript?
1. Go to IRS.gov/transcript
2. Click get transcript online
•If it says please wait high demand just literally wait, the login screen will come up next
3. Login to your account or create one if you don't have one
4. For reason select other and leave customer file number blank
5. Click 2021 under record of account transcripts
• If yours says N/A this means your return has not been fully processed
6. Next, look for code 846 that ends in the year 2022
•This is your refund and deposit date
