I filed my taxes 2020 they were accepted on Feb 12th 2021 by the irs according to the email i got from intuit. However the irs site says it can't find my return. So??

If it's been accepted and I'm using that same info on the where's my refund site why don't they show it??

It is to soon to check on the status of a federal tax refund.  After the IRS has Accepted (Received) the federal tax return it must then go through tax return Processing.  Once the processing starts the status of a tax refund will be available.

Thank you. That put me at ease. After this past year I seem to have gotten cynical and doubt every thing and everyone. Foolish I know. But thank you for explaining this process. Take care stay well
