The IRS typically accepts or rejects e-filed tax returns within 24 to 48 hours of submission. You can track the status of your return here:  TurboTax Tools: Where's my Refund? 

 

For more information on the IRS process, please see this TurboTax Tax Tips Guide:  Where's My Tax Refund? The IRS Refund Timetable Explained

 

If you are asking about your State return, please see How do I track my State refund?

 

You can also use the IRS tool Where's My Refund to check the status of your federal return.
