Just wondering why they don't update status of your refund

Was your return accepted? If it was that means the you have passed the basic identity verification.  The IRS now has your return & is getting ready to process your return.

The IRS website (Where's My Refund) does not update the current information at times.  Others have received their refund before their information shows up on the IRS website, Where's My Refund.  All you can do is keep checking the website to see if your information shows up soon.  The IRS website Where's My Refund, only updates once a day.

Also, see the following:

• February 22. Projected date for the IRS.gov Where's My Refund tool being updated for those claiming EITC and ACTC, also referred to as PATH Act returns.
   
• 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.

Who is THEY?  Once your tax filings are Accepted, TT receives no further updates from either the IRS or the State.
