Absolutely. WMR only updates once every 24 hours though. If you check it more than 5 times in a day, it actually kicks you out until the following day.

The state does not operate the same as IRS, the state only operates Mon-Fri.

Good news today; I filed and was accepted on February 1st 2016 and last night the IRS updated WMR and approved my return and now I have a ddd on February 10th 2016. I hope this helps everyone and truly hope you all get your refunds soon! I understand the frustration with waiting for the IRS to complete a return. I'll keep everyone posted as things happen until my refund hits the bank!

Check tomorrow morning. You should have a DDD. I had same "estimate" from TT. Forget TT. ITS ALL ABOUT THE FEDS NOW. THEY UPDATE EVERY DAY ON WMR. YOU SHOULD BE ALL SET IN THE A.M.

Yes I have finally, by 2/10 WMR says. I'm checking a sbtpg.com periodically to see if they've received my refund yet. They get it first and then send it to my bank because I had my fees taken directly from my federal refund. Their site has a similar tool as the IRS to check your status if you did the same with your TT fee.
