After you file
@DHancock44 TurboTax gives an estimated refund date based on the IRS average of a 21 day timeframe for most filers. While we at TurboTax have no way of finding out specific information about the processing of an individual tax return once it's been transmitted to the government.
Tax Topic 152 shows that your return has been accepted, and your refund is being processed. Here is the IRS information page for Tax Topic 152, which shows reasons for this message: Topic No. 152 Refund Information
This is the general timeline of e-filed returns:
Transmission > Acceptance > Review/Processing > Approval > Refund.
During processing, the government reviews your refund. During the review process, they look for math errors on your return (extremely rare in TurboTax) and they also check if you owe back taxes, unpaid child support, or other debts.
