    once a return is accepted, TurboTax receives no further information and cannot intercede on your behalf.  This is a public forum that cannot contact the IRS on your behalf. You’ll have to call 800-829-1040 and speak to an agent. 

     

    are you sure that the e-mail said ‘‘accepted” and not “received” because you get two e-mails. the first says “submitted” which only means it was transmitted to the IRS. Ther second says “accepted” or “rejected”.

    one thing you can do before calling is to try to access the online transcript of your return if it exists.

    this requires registering with ID.ME unless you already have an account

    TRANSCRIPT LINK

    USE THE BLUE LINK THAT SAYS SIGN-IN TO YOUR ACCOUNT ( even if you don’t have one yet)
