IRS.gov Now Shows Vague Message For Clients Filed Before 2/1

[Chowdahead]

Very few of my clients have received their refunds. Many have EIC but some don't.

I have been checking a few of my early returns and now those filed on Jan 30 produce the following vague message:

Your tax return is still being processed.

A refund date will be provided when available.

Any return filed on Jan. 31 or later reads the following message:

We have received your tax return and it is being processed.

You should get your refund within 21 days from the date we received your tax return.

I'm assuming that after today, this message will be applied to those who filed on Jan. 31, and then tomorrow Feb. 1, and so on.

This doesn't look good. Clients are calling me and I have no answers because others are receiving their refunds quickly. I may have to send out a mailing to my clients effected by this.
