When you have filed and the returns accepted you should not be looking to TT for the current status of your refunds ... instead look to the Fed & State web sites  .... although the feds try to process all returns within 21 days not all are ... and many states are taking months to process returns as they battle tax fraud.

First -- verify that your returns have been filed and accepted --  then check the fed & state web sites to see where you are in the process-
