@Canaan5645 After the IRS has accepted your return, they will take a closer look at your return to determine when your refund can be "Approved".  The time frame for that varies based on your individual return.  Sometimes the IRS examines more closely returns that include certain credits.  The TurboTax FAQ I'm linking below will help explain.  You'll also see how to track your federal refund.

 

What does Accepted mean?
