Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You should check the IRS Where's My Refund here.

 

"Accepted" means your tax return was received and has passed initial inspection, such as correct Social Security number and correctly claimed dependents.  It does not mean a refund has been approved.

 

See also this TurboTax Help.

 

IRS Where's My Refund reflects the status of your tax return.

 

  • Return Received – We received your return and are processing it.
  • Refund Approved – We approved your refund and are preparing to issue it by the date shown.
  • Refund Sent – We sent the refund to your bank or to you in the mail. It may take 5 days for it to show in your bank account or several weeks for your check to arrive in the mail.
