Was your efiled return accepted for processing? If so, what is displayed at the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool?
It still hasn’t been approved. It’s been 18 days and it still hasn’t been approved. I don’t have a date or anything for when it should be posted. Idk what’s happening
Once a tax return (not refund) has been Accepted for processing by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

You can check that your return was received by the taxing authority using these instructions: Check the Electronic Postmark of your Return. Pay close attention to the separate lines for Federal and State. They are separate statuses.
