Has anyone received notification that their 2021 taxes have been accepted yet?

Check where’s my refund. Turbo tax isn’t updating to accepted for some reason. Mine was accepted at 11:34am EST and as of 3PM EST turbo tax still says pending. It’s annoying bc I can’t get my refund advance until turbo tax marks it as accepted and it was accepted 4 hours ago!

It's a bit early since IRS opened the e-file gate today.  They have been doing testing prior to the opening so it is likely some individuals have received an acknowledgement/acceptance.  This may not mean it was received today.  However, continue to check because they will be releasing acknowledgements slowly.

I checked where’s my refund to see that it was accepted.

I am having the same issue.  The IRS says my return has been accepted, but Turbotax is saying it's still pending and that the acceptance expected date is 02/02/2022.

TT will update probably overnight ... and the "refund expected" date is never to be relied on ... it is only a guess at best based on the IRS expectations.  Once accepted ignore the TT site and ONLY get your information from the IRS/state  refund sites.

I thought I was the only one showing 02/02/22.

Did you get pre qualified for the advance? It was a lot of steps to go through to get the advance.
