I received only my state tax and not my federal. Both were approved over 10 days ago. When will I receive the rest?

At least 21 days from the date, 01/29/2018, the IRS started officially accepting returns. The IRS releases most refunds within 21 calendar days after the e-file has been accepted (received), not 21 days from the e-filing date. For mailed returns, allow 5-6 weeks from the postmark date. (If you claimed an Earned Income Tax Credit and/or an Additional Child Tax Credit and filed before February 15, 2018, you’ll get your refund the week of February 27 at the earliest.)

Wait 24 hours after your federal return has been accepted before looking it up at Where's My Refund?

Approved, or just accepted? They are not the same.
