Turbo tax still says accepted only for all refunds even past few years even though I already got past years taxes refunds

Can anyone explain why turbo isn't changing any status to approved

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.

For three weeks my account on TurboTax webb site has shown the little greenish bar at half way saying my return was accepted. Today it shows the green bar if full. Why did it change?

Most likely, it because you had an estimated date for your refund of 2/20/2020 and we have reached that date.  That information is not very accurate because it is just an estimate based on the fact that most, but not all, refunds are issued within 21 days of the Tax Return being Accepted by the IRS.  The only way to accurately track the date you will receive your refund is by visiting the IRS website for Where's my Refund.   If you see that your refund is Processing, or Still Processing, that's great....it means that the IRS is working on your return and hopefully you will have an Approved status soon.
