I think what you are looking for on the IRS website is that your refund is "approved''. Accepted means they accepted the transmission of your return. The acceptance just checks basic information to make sure the return is actually yours. The approval is once the actual return is checked and all the information & calculations are correct, then you get a notice that your refund was approved. If you are able to log-on and track your refund then it has been accepted. To make sure,first, please go to https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/ to check your efile status. If you confirm that your return has in fact been efiled and accepted, then proceed to www.irs.gov/refunds to track your refund.
To use the IRS tool correctly, you must wait 24-48 hours after filing and being accepted to check the status of your refund. Please make sure you are entering the exact amount of your refund as shown on your federal tax return.
Additionally, be certain you are choosing the correct filing status.
