Why cant I see my refund?

[Megancrosley]

I don’t have a refund date I can’t locate my tax return on where’s my refund? What is going on? And my taxes haven’t been approved just accepted ?

Please know that accepted and "approved" are not the same. Only the IRS can accept or approve your return. Turbot Tax submits your return to the IRS only. Once it's been accepted the rest is up to the IRS. Please use this link to find out more about accepted vs approved:  https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/return-status/help/does-accepted-mean-my-refund-is-approved/01/265...

In addition to what JakailaLO mentioned above, the FAQ below provides some of the different reasons for there being no record of your return on irs.gov:
