The IRS is seriously backlogged due to all the extra stimulus filings, as well as a few million unprocessed 2019 returns left over from the COVID shutdown.  In addition, the Where's My Refund site has been erratic and unreliable.  But if TT told you the IRS Accepted your filing for processing, then the government has it.  (Approved is a later step, but TT receives no further updates once Accepted.)  Contacting the IRS will not help, and the IRS has implored taxpayers not to call them.  Lots of other folks are still waiting, so please continue to be patient.  Also see:

Hello,

 

Have you tried "where is my refund" tool? 

Also, it all depends what type of credits you claimed. Depending on those, IRS is processing returns at different times. I noticed that a lot of returns that claimed Rebate recovery credit are taking longer as well.
