I mailed my return. Where in TurboTax does it show if the IRS accepted it or not?

Sorry it doesn't.  Turbo Tax will never know if or when you mailed it and the IRS doesn't update Turbo Tax when they get a mailed return.  Turbo Tax will always say Ready to Mail or Printed.

4 weeks after you print and mail it, you can start checking IRS Where's my refund https://www.irs.gov/refunds/ 

Accepted or Reject is only for efiled returns.
