Refund status

So why is it that the IRS.gov says that I'm approved but TurboTax still says accepted?? I'm supposed to get it today and still nothing.

Once the return has been accepted, the IRS no longer provides updates to TurboTax.   This is why we tell you that the only accurate place to get information about your refund is through the IRS.

 

This is the process that your return is going through:

 

Pending: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/4193097

 

Accepted (this is the last update that TurboTax will get from the IRS:( https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3958820

 

Processing, or Still Processing (the IRS does not inform TurboTax of this stage.  Keep checking Where's my Refund:( https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/4689484

 

Approved (TurboTax is also not informed of this stage):  https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/return-status/help/does-accepted-mean-my-refund-is-approved/00/26514
