Yes, mine was accepted 02/14 and according to IRS it's still processing, estimated refund was supposed to be 03/07.

The IRS did not start processing until Feb 12.  It is  seriously backlogged because of all the extra stimulus filings, as well as several million unprocessed 2019 returns left over from the COVID shutdown.   In addition, the Where's My Refund site has been erratic and unreliable.   But if TT told you the IRS has Accepted your filing, then the government has it for processing, and TT receives no further updates.  Lots of other folks are still waiting, so please continue to be patient.

In addition,  the IRS has just started sending out Stimulus #3, and it will take a few weeks for everyone to get theirs.  It comes separately, not as part of your 2020 tax refund.  See:

Yes, its so frustrating.  Also why doesn't the IRS have a date for my deposit of my 3rd stimulus?  That's a major or rather scary problem.  Ive had problems regarding the deposits of my 1st and 3rd stimulus payments as well.    The reason for the delay is the fault of Turbo Tax and though they won't admit  there is glitches with the correct routing and account numbers they are sending to IRS.  There is consistent glitches on behalf correct info of the actual account numbers with anticipated deposits.  I used Turbotax debit card for my refunds and stimuluses and had so many deposit issues with it.  Unfortunately this is a major problem.  TT IS NOT  ADMITTING IT TO US LIKE THEY DID ON THE 1ST STIMULUS.  Its an absolute fact and not my opinion or conspiracy.  I've talked to over a dozen people about their major delay in refunds and like myself they  continue experiencing the inability to speak to anyone from the IRS. Their lines are being purposely overflowed so they can avoid the calls of impatient individuals, and concentrate on fixing the variety of issues with paying more out than they are used to collecting.  The IRS is more or less, a federally governed collection agency and is not designed for distribution of funds.  I am certain their will be no update to the silly useless IRS To Go "Where's My Refund".  Topic 152 is all you'll be receiving for an update until June or July 2021.  Topic 152 is not a helpful update and is basically stating, theres problems with how your preparer sent us the forms so were putting u at the back of the line until we have enough employees back to work and able to resolve the careless errors.  Kind of convenient to be approved for the advance isn't it?  Good thing is those banks wont wait to long to be paid back and Turbo Tax is not handling their obligations promptly or honestly.  Very very very insulted and dissatisfied with Turbo tax for hiding behind silly automated replys.
