How do we find out where our federal taxes are and how will we know if anything gets taken out of our taxes?

our taxes line is all the way through and everyone else around us has gotten theirs and we filed a day after theirs and want to know what is going on with our taxes and why they say accepted and havent received it at all?

Sometimes some tax returns take longer to process than others. You will get personalized refund information if you check back with Where's My Refund? once the IRS has processed and approved your refund.

You'll get an explanatory letter from the Bureau of the Fiscal Service if your refund is offset. See this for more information: What is a refund offset?
