Turbo tax and credits karma says everything was accepted and approved and be here 4/26 the IRS website the bar for accepted isn't lit up yet so which one is it?

I've never filed b4 and had to do it a few times til they went thru. The IRS website doesn't say approved but turbotax and credit karma does.

Turbo Tax only says it was Accepted, not approved.  Accepted only means the IRS verified some basic info on it so they know it's really from you. After it is Accepted the IRS processes it then approves it before they send the refund.  And the Turbo Tax refund date is just an estimated date of 21 days. 

After Turbo Tax sends your return they are done with their part. Now it's up to the IRS to process and Approve it. It has nothing to do with Turbo Tax. The IRS doesn't update Turbo Tax with the status of your return. Turbo Tax just gives you an estimated date.

Just keep checking with the IRS.
