Check your State's tax website for the status.

Nothing. States will not accept an e-filed return until after the federal return is e-filed and accepted by the IRS. The IRS doesn't open e-filing until Jan 29th. So if your federal return shows already accepted, that's because the IRS pulled your return from the submission server just to test their systems with. Most likely since the IRS is testing, the IRS system has not and will not notify the state your return was accepted until the IRS opens e-filing officially on Jan 29th. All you can do really, is sit there and wait.

When your state refund was accepted, did you get a letter saying you needed to send in a copy of the birth certificate, SS and medical records of your child before the process could move further along? If you have a child ..
