Says State was accepted but never put into direct deposit. Will I get paper mail check?

Accepted means that you return has been received. Now you will have to wait for it to be approved. The approval time depends on your state and how they process their returns.. Once approved, you will be given a specific time frame on when you will receive your return and the refund method you chose. https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/4689484 You can check your return status below.
