Accepted and approved are not the same. Accepted in Turbo Tax means that the IRS "accepted' your return(s) from Turbo Tax. If your returns show as "approved" with the IRS, this means that the IRS has approved your return and you should expect to receive a refund. A refund issue date is provided by the IRS only. You will need to continue to track your returns using the following:
If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds
If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899433-how-do-i-track-my-state-refund
