Ok ... some terms need to be explained ... you file a return and it is either Rejected or Accepted for processing. No return is Approved but if you have a refund the refund is approved for dispersal. Both returns with refunds and balance dues can be reviewed and/or audited usually within a 3 year period but sometimes they can review/audit further back. So all you can check on with a return with a balance due is the Acceptance when you efile ... you can log in to see if the return was accepted and/or check your email confirmations of filing and then acceptance.
