If you went through the entire return and got a message that your return was successfully filed, you should not have to do anything else. To check the e-file status of your return, please click here for instructions. Your return should currently be in pending status. Pending status is where the IRS will review basic details of the return to make sure the information matches, such as birth date and social security number. Once this is confirmed, in usually 24-48 hours, depending on the backlog, then the status will updated to accepted. You will stay in an accepted status for up to 21 days until the IRS fully reviews your return and approves it. Then the status will change to approved.
