It can take anywhere from a few days to 3 weeks to go from acceptance to approval.  This timeframe is unrelated to how, where, or when you filed and it isn't connected to how quickly you got your refund last year.

For more info about "Where's My Refund" and other refund-related topics, visit the IRS webpage Tax Season Refund Frequently Asked Questions.

How long does it usually take to receive a refund after being accepted?

The IRS states that most refunds are received within 21 days from the time a return has been accepted and a refund option is selected. The IRS will hold the refunds claiming EITC and ACTC-related returns until Mid-February

Please click here to check your return status in TurboTax.

If your Federal return has been accepted please, wait 24 hours before looking it up at Where's My Refund? Sometimes it may take a little longer to show up in their system.
