I filed my taxes on Apr 4th through the TurboTax free Stimulus Registration for non-tax filers. Checking the IRS website about my refund and tax return status it said that the IRS received my tax return, but haven't approved it yet. To get the stimulus check does the IRS have to approve your 2019 Tax Return/Refund first and if so how long will it take? TurboTax said both my State and Federal Tax Return were accepted by State and Federal on Apr 4 because TurboTax efiled them when I filled out the "free Stimulus Registration for non-tax filers." When I try to check my payment status through the IRS tool that launched it said "Payment Status Not Available." I'm wondering if the reason I'm getting that message and that I haven't gotten my stimulus check yet is because my Return/Refund hasn't been approved.
