It says my return was accepted on February 10th does that mean the IRS started test batches?

Yes.  But the tax return will not start to be processed by the IRS until 02/12/2021.

Same for me.  Let's hope it means fast processing.

    First week of March. Tax refunds begin reaching those claiming EITC and ACTC (PATH Act returns) for those who file electronically with direct deposit and there are no issues with their tax returns.

She's right though if you claim any of the credits From the Path Act you won't get it until March because they have to make sure there's no fraud. If you claim those credits they won't process you in the test batch either.
