To post means to be processed through their system.. it's not enough that they have the paperwork on site, someone has to physically enter that paperwork into their information stream, usually by keying in the information into their database.
In my office, we do our postings in batches, and only after a batch is closed, can we cut checks. I'm sure with the IRS, the batches are closed on a fairly frequent basis.. Us, we often run batches over the course of a day or two.
Since you did yours online, you've done the keying of information into their system already, so it's a matter of getting that information from where it was entered to where the check can be cut or deposited and basically, its a matter of getting in line, like at a grocery store.. and waiting for your turn to come up.. some people's lines will go faster, and some people will get their checks sooner than others, because their location got X number of returns, vs. another location. (I hope that made sense!)
