The IRS just began to accept and process returns on February 12, 2021. The normal turnaround time for the IRS to accept your return is 24-48 hours. However, due to the number of stockpiled returns, it may take a little bit longer as their system is overwhelmed with early filers. This also applies to why there may not be a status showing on the IRS Where's My Refund site. Please see Why is there no record of my return at Where's My Refund (WMR)? for more information.
