After you file

For your federal refund, if it was accepted  less than 21 days ago, hang in there. It can take anywhere from a few days to 3 weeks to go from acceptance to approval. 

For the most up to date information on your refund, you can track your federal refund here: Where's My Refund? which provides your current status and a specific, personalized date for your tax refund once it is available.  You may also download the IRS2Go app to check your Federal refund status.

Here is the general timeline of e-filed returns:

Transmission > Acceptance > Processing > Approval > Refund.

For your state refund, each state processes differently and at different times so the time frame can vary. Also, keep in mind some tax returns need extra review for accuracy, completeness and to protect taxpayers from fraud and identity theft. Extra processing time may be necessary.
