Both are right.  Turbo Tax will always say Accepted. It is not updated when the IRS or State sends your refund. Accepted only means the IRS or state verified your identity and accepted your return FOR PROCESSING. Once they accept your return then Turbo Tax is done with their part and doesn't get any updates on your refund.

 

After the IRS Accepts your return then they Process it.....Then they APPROVE it.
