As I had mentioned, it is not showing that it has been "Accepted" however it is showing "Federal Return Pending." Does this mean that it was not submitted? It does at this point state "Federal Return Transmitted."
Once transmitted it should be accepted or rejected usually within 15-30 minutes, but can take as long as 24 hours. Sometimes it is actually accepted but the status never changes which is why you can check on the IRS refund site, but that is only if you are getting a refund. If you owe and entered a bank account number to pay with direct debt then if the payment was taken by the IRS you can be sure that they received it.
"Transmitted" means it was sent to the IRS, but the IRS has never responded with a reject or acceptance.
