No federal refund approval yet. Should I be worried?

Hello - I filed my taxes on April 2 2020 and was accepted on April 3, 2020.  It's been over two weeks since the IRS accepted my return. It still says processing.  My state refund was processed and got my refund in 5 days.  Should I be worried about my federal refund?

 

Also, we noticed that after filing we missed adding income from a 1099 INT for $15.  should I amend now or wait to see if the IRS adjusts or sends me a letter?

 

thank you

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities,  There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals.

 

TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 20 of your Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:
