My refund status says accepted but not approved it's been 3 week's

There are a few explanations of why there could be a delay.  There could be a refund offset or it could be due to the PATH Act.  For more information on this, please see the Help Article here for further assistance.

@Sniper_six26 You posted "So did it ever come?"  to a thread that began in 2019 or earlier and in which there are over a hundred posts.   No one knows what you are trying to ask---or to whom your question is posed.   Do you have a question about your own refund?   

 

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted: 

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

 

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 35a of your 2021 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

OR——if you filed by mail, expect a long wait.   It is taking the very backlogged IRS six to nine months to process mailed returns.   Until a human opens your envelope and enters the data into the system, nothing will even show up on the refund site, so you will have to be very patient.

Should you contact the IRS if it's been months without approval? Or wait for mailed correspondence? 

 

Thanks for y'all's time.
