Federal return accepted

[jschaber14]

When checking my return status I keep getting the message that I must wait 24 hours from when it was received. It’s been 3 days and it keeps saying the same message but I already got the email that my return was accepted

I am actually having the exact same issue. I filed on the 29th it showed as accepted on the 31st and when I go to the IRS tracker I get the wait 24 hours after it was accepted message. Please let me know what you find out.

TurboTax updates what stage your return is in and the IRS site updates when you can expect your refund:

• E-filing status is what stage of the process your return is in.
• Refund status is when you can expect you refund. 

Once your tax return has been submitted, the most up to date information will come from the IRS. Please see below for more information on checking the status of an e-filed return:
