If I filed with turbo tax on 04/15/2024...it still has not been accepted by the irs. when i checked with turbo tax they said give it 48 hours and we are past that?

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing of your return or the release of your refund.

Here are a couple FAQs to track your refund:
When will I get my federal tax refund?
How do I track my state refund?
Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"?

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.

Since millions of tax returns were filed on or just before April 15, 2024 the IRS has a huge backlog of returns waiting to be received.  It may take longer than 48 or 72 hours for the IRS to either Accept or Reject these e-filed tax returns.  Be patient, the tax return will remain as Pending until the IRS receives the tax return.
