Once your return has been accepted (received) by the government, they take over the refund status update duties, since they hold the purse strings. The status in TurboTax will remain as accepted. Use the IRS Where's My Refund site for the latest word on your federal tax refund and your state government's refund lookup service for the latest on your state refund. The next step you are waiting for is for the refund status to change to approved. The IRS estimates that most refunds will be sent within three weeks after your e-filed returns are accepted. Many refunds will come sooner. For more information, please click here.
