All you can do now is, wait. At least you know that the IRS has your filing. It does not matter who sent your 1040 to the IRS. The IRS is the sole destination for tax returns. No one has discovered a way to make the IRS speed up sending out refunds. No one ever will because the IRS is an overwhelmed, over worked, under funded and under staffed government bureaucracy. Eventually you will get the pay off of your no interest loan to the government.

Have you thought of paying just enough by estimates or withholding to avoid a penalty and let the government wait for your check?

TurboTax did not say it was "approved"----TurboTax says it was "accepted"--which is not the same as "approved."

The IRS does not use the word "accepted" on the refund site.  They say it was received, and then they put it through the system for processing.  Eventually they will let you know if the refund is approved and give you date for the refund to be issued.  You just have to wait.  Some refunds take longer than others.
