After you file

@bnoakes2 "Processing" means the IRS has your tax return and they are working on it.   "Accepted" only meant that you entered enough data to get it into the system.   The IRS then has to see what you entered---if they approve of the data you entered then they will issue your refund.  Only the IRS controls when the refund will be issued.
