@amand asked: "How do i know if something is wrong with my taxes or not it still hasnt changed the status since it was accepted"
By "it still hasn't changed" what is the "it?"
Are you referring to the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool, which is what you should be going by?
https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund
If that tool shows it's been processing for longer than 21 days since it was accepted, you could phone the IRS to ask about it. They may or may not be able to tell you anything yet. Some returns require extra processing for various reasons; sometimes ID verification, etc. or other additional information. Sometimes they perform more processing on a random basis.
However, this time of year there is a common delay for any return that has EIC or ACTC tax credits. Because of the PATH Act, the IRS has to wait until after February 15 to begin issuing refunds for folks who had those tax credits in their returns. So the IRS this week will finally begin issuing refunds for those situations. As a result, filers with those types of credits may not see their Federal refund until late February or early March.
It is not unusual for your return to stay in pending status for several days sometimes longer depending on the back log of returns filed and time it takes for the IRS to process them.
Keep checking the IRS Where’s My Refund? site for updates. The tool is updated daily (usually in the overnight hours) so you don’t need to check more often. Please see the TurboTax FAQ What does "Pending" mean? for additional information.
