Typically about 48 hours, however the IRS just started processing tax returns yesterday January 27, 2020 so it could take a little longer. Once the IRS accepts your tax return and processes it, it takes about 21 days to receive your refund when you e-file. Please see this TurboTax FAQ for more information and how to track your refund once it is filed: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/wheres-my-refund/

Should I be concerned my return has not been excepted yet and I filed on 1/29/20? Turbo gave me today's date but it still shows pending. It is also 6:22 am does it happen all day?

Did you check the IRS Where's my Refund? site to check the status of your return? The IRS updates the refund status once a day usually in the overnight hours.
