How long has it been taking this year for the status to go to sent ? Mine is still in accepted and I efiled on Feb 14th?

It takes about 21 days for the IRS to issue a refund, once the Return has been accepted.

Once your return has been accepted (received) by the government, they take over the refund status update duties, since they hold the purse strings. The status in TurboTax will remain as "accepted."

Use the IRS Where's My Refund site for the latest word on your federal tax refund, and your state government's refund lookup service for the latest on your state refund.
