If the IRS says pending but turbo tax says accepted wich is correct?

TurboTax has already said that my state and federal returns have been accepted but I went on IRS website and it says it's still pending and has not yet been processed what should I rely on more?

The IRS does not used the term "pending."  That's only an efile status term.   If your return was accepted, then the IRS website likely says "received" and/or perhaps received and processing.

Go by the IRS WMR tool.   Other than "accepted", TurboTax will not get any further feedback from the IRS.   At least the IRS found your info (I assume) when you used the tool.  If so, you know they have your return.

I’m seeing the same in my situation. TurboTax has also received the payment out of my refund for processing fees but WMR is giving me TT 152 and there’s a TC 570 on my transcript. But to answer your question I’d say go off what your transcript is telling you. The WMR tool isn’t reliable.
