It's been 24 days since my turbo tax refund was accepted. Why has it not yet been approved and when can I expect a deposit? #turbotax #intuit

If your income tax return was approved by the IRS and it's been over 21 days, contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. Perhaps you had a refund offset. 

Per IRS, some tax returns take longer to process than others for many reasons, including when a return:

• Includes errors
• Is incomplete
• Is affected by identity theft or fraud
• Includes a claim filed for an Earned Income Tax Credit or an Additional Child Tax Credit. See Q&A below.
• Includes a Form 8379, which could take up to 14 weeks to process
• Needs further review in general

The IRS will contact you by mail when we need more information to process your return.

My information has not changed from previous years. The only new thing was less then 1 month of unemployment (that info added was directly from the papers sent), otherwise turbotax  automatically efiled my taxes for me with live expert help and triple checks.

You can track your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site. You'll need your Social Security number or ITIN, filing status, and the exact amount of your refund to check your status.
