The IRS website shows my refund hasn't been approved yet but turbo tax shows it has.

When will this be approved on the IRS website? The website says it should only take a few days but it has been about a week.

TurboTax does not track your return after it is accepted. TurboTax would say your return has been accepted. It would not say approved. The IRS sequence is accepted then processed then approved. You must track your refund at the IRS web site. Only the IRS knows when it will be approved.

That’s crazy why would y’all say it’s approved if it’s not

TurboTax only shows generic estimated refund dates based on the theory that IRS aims to have 90% of refunds issued within 21 days of acceptance.

TT says Accepted (for processing). Approved is not the same.
