Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  

 

If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

 

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

There are quite a few returns that were filed prior to February 12th, which may cause a slight delay when returns are initially processed.  We will let you know via email and on the main page of your account when you log in if your return has been Accepted or Rejected.
