Accepted on the TurboTax website only means the IRS received the e-filed tax return without any e-file errors which would cause the IRS to reject the e-filed tax return.
Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.
After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.
See this IRS website for federal tax refund FAQ's - https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions
As indicated above, Accepted is not the same as Approved, which is a later step.
