Accepted simply means the government received your e-filed tax return.
- The IRS releases most refunds within 21 days after the e-file has been accepted.
- If you're getting a refund, the next step is for the government to approve your refund before they can send your money to you.
Once you've been accepted, start tracking your federal refund on the IRS Where's My Refund site.
