After you file

Accepted only means received. The typical wait is 21 days, but sometimes the returns take longer.

To verify that the return has been e-filed, and that there are no issues with processing,

• Check our E-File Status Lookup Tool or check IRS: Where's my refund? for updates. 
• Check for state filing status here: State Return Refund Tracking. 

Always use only TurboTax, the IRS, or your state website to check on your status.
