TurboTax said the return was "accepted" for processing----that is not the same as "approved" by the IRS. As for "correct"---The information entered into the do-it-yourself software is entered by the user--it is not checked against outside sources. TurboTax has no way to know if you typed in your information correctly, included all of your income or entered it in the right places.
TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer. “21 days” is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.
First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.
You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 35a of your 2023 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.
I efiled March 4 but my return has still not been processed by the IRS although they acknowledge it was received. First step is to contact the IRS to see if they can tell you why it's delayed. Other options are to work with your local Taxpayer Assistance Center or contact your Senator for help with a federal agency.
