The “your tax return is still being processed” tax refund status can mean many things, but the main one is that the tax return is still in the IRS system and still being processed.
The IRS Where is my refund? uses the “your tax return is still being processed” status message to inform taxpayers that the IRS is still processing their tax returns, but the IRS system may have detected a problem that may delay the tax refund longer than the original 21-day processing timeframe.
If you are seeing this refund status “still being processed” it means the IRS can no longer guarantee your refund within the 21-day time frame. In some cases, the IRS will correct the issue without further information being needed and you will update from this message to the “being processed refund status. If the IRS can not correct the issue and they need further information you will receive a letter by US Mail explaining what is going on with your tax return. If you see this message for 21 days or 3 cycle weeks and have seen no letter or updates to your refund status you may need to contact the IRS.
Most taxpayers that are stuck on this refund status message could see it for a few cycle weeks maybe even longer depending on your tax situation.

But for other taxpayers stuck with this message, there is a really good possibility that they may be required to provide additional information or verify their identity with the IRS. If you are seeing this message the best advice we can give is to get Informed Delivery® by USPS® or keep an eye on your mail because you may be receiving a notice and could have to provide the IRS with additional information.
