I am on hold with the IRS now. Once this call is completed I plan to call Intuit again and ask that very question. 5 days is more than enough time for them to submit and accept a tax return. They aren't processing it. All the acceptance is doing is one computer saying to the other I received all the data you send me in the correct format. The processing of the return doesn't start until after that. This is why I don't understand the IRS stating to wait 21 days....it should NEVER take 21 days for one computer to communicate to the other computer hey I got the data you sent in the correct format we are good to go thank you.
