Only Specific word want to allow in c# textBox1 for insert
Button, it will check valid word is available in textbox or not,
if get the valid word then code will run otherwise code will stop

What I have tried:

C#
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    if (textBox1.Text == "In Progress" OR "Resolved")
    {
        //my Code
        label1.Text = textBox1.text;

    }
    else
    {
        label1.Text = "Fill Valid word in Status, eg: In Progress or Resolved,";
        return;
    }
}

What is the problem?

Try a radio button instead.

Will there ever be a variable number of "valid words phrases ?

If there are a distinct set of words the user can enter: why use a TextBox ? Use a ComboBox, or, Menu.

You don't use the word "OR" in C#, you use the logical OR operator "||" instead:
C#
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    if (textBox1.Text == "In Progress" || textBox1.Text == "Resolved")
    {
        //my Code
        label1.Text = textBox1.text;

    }
    else
    {
        label1.Text = "Fill Valid word in Status, eg: In Progress or Resolved,";
        return;
    }
}
But a better idea is to do it the other way round:
C#
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    if (textBox1.Text != "In Progress" && textBox1.Text != "Resolved")
    {
        label1.Text = "Fill Valid word in Status, eg: In Progress or Resolved,";
        return;
    }
    // Your  Code
    label1.Text = textBox1.text;
}
That way, you keep your validations at the top of the method where it is easy to see what is required, and the rest of the method isn't further indented.

"validations at the top of the method" Amen ! +5
Another approach is:
C#
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    if (textBox1.Text == "In Progress" ) {}
    elseif (textBox1.Text == "Resolved") {}
    elseif (textBox1.Text == "third") {} // third key word
    else
    {
        label1.Text = "Fill Valid word in Status, eg: In Progress or Resolved,";
        return;
    }
    //my Code
    label1.Text = textBox1.text;

}

may be easier to handle more keywords.
