Where does it say approved? Turbo Tax only can tell you if your return was Accepted or Rejected, not if the IRS approved it. Approved is the last step.
Once Turbo Tax transmits your return they are done with their part. Now it's up to the IRS.
After you submit your efile, it will say pending until the IRS Accepts or Rejects it. Usually within 48 hours. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/return-status/help/what-does-pending-mean/00/26331
You can check your efile status here

When you efile you get back 2 emails. The first email only confirms the transmission. The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.
When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc. what does it say?
