Awful, right ? Yes, it’s normal. The feds have “accepted” it, but not approved. That means they are working on it (turbo tax will have zero to do with it now), it’s in the feds hands. This is common with Turbo Tax. If you go to the IRS check your refund status, there is even a bulletin now that says (I copied and pasted from the IRS website) :
Updates to Where’s My Refund Status Delayed for Some
The Where’s My Refund app may show “Return Received,” even if we’ve already issued your refund. Your refund will not be delayed. There’s no need to call the IRS.
so, that is even WORSE. By stating that people have received returned money without an update on the status means it probably is not working right now and I would not worry about it if you look online they have a calendar and if you have an earned income tax credit they think it will be March 5th if you had it in early, by the 12th (when it opened).
I am waiting too! Good luck !
