My fed was accepted on 2-11 my state which is Pa was accepted 2 days later but my refund still hasn’t been approved? I know someone that did theirs after me and got theirs already but the IRS2GO app still says theirs was accepted but the Approved tab is still gray like it wasn’t approved yet 🤷🏼♂️
I'll tell you in general how it works.
Processing time at the IRS varies and cannot be compared to someone else's experience--there are too many variables. Once it's through processing, then hopefully it will be approved.
The IRS says 9 out of 10 filers who efile and choose direct deposit will get their Federal refunds within 21 days after being accepted. Some returns are processed fairly quickly, while others require additional processing due to specific items in the return. Some are pulled at random for more thorough investigation.
You said your returns were accepted, so you can use the "Where's My Refund" tool at the IRS website below (or the IRS2GO app) to monitor the status of your Federal refund.
https://www.irs.gov/Refunds
NOTE: When using that tool, be sure to enter the correct SSN and filing status. For the refund amount, use only the Federal refund amount, and not any total refund amount that includes a state refund.
The amount to use is on your Federal Form 1040, Line 35a.
As for tracking your Pennsylvania state return, the FAQ below tells how. The FAQ below also tells you how long it takes in Pennsylvania for the state return to be processed and how long for a payment to be made.
