My 2023 tax return is seen accepted on TurboTax but on IRS website I can’t see approved. It says still in progress. It’s been more than 21 days.Should I concern about it?

I was a J1 student, now I am not in USA. I wanted my tax return to my Wise checking account. I started worrying because IRS has not approved my tax return yet. But TurboTax shows it’s accepted.

The IRS says they send refunds in 21 days for 9 out of 10 efiled returns. The date is an estimate, an educated guess, a rough idea. In other words, it should not be relied on. The IRS can not say how long that other 1 of the 10 will take. All you can do now is, wait. Wait for the pay off of your interest free loan to the government. Did you believe that the IRS is omnipotent, omnibenevolent and omniscient ?
