Mine was also accepted on this date and nothing since. Mine has always been approved within a few days. I’m beginning to worry this is a turbo tax issue/glitch.

Once your tax return has been submitted, the most up to date information will come from the IRS. Until the IRS starts processing it on their own, you may not find record of it or the website may say that you have put in incorrect information when tracking your federal refund. As your return moves through the system, the status of it will be updated accordingly. Please see here  for more information on checking the status of an e-filed return.

If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status as it moves through the process here.

See the video in this link for a really good explanation of the process:

We need a thread for filers accepted 2-11 lol. Cause that’s me and same as you. I’m praying our stimulus checks don’t get screwed up too.

Maybe contact the IRS Advocates. These people are angels who walk the face of the Earth.

Anyway, they can genuinely help and have saved my skin/family/mortgage several times.

The IRS does not process First In First Out.  And they are really backlogged now because of all the stimulus filings.
