After you file

Sorry the IRS website is not always updated.  If Turbo Tax shows it was accepted then the IRS has it and is working on it.  The IRS is taking a very long time this year like 6 months or more.  You might have a long wait.  Be patient and keep waiting.  

Accepted does not mean Approved.

Accepted only means the IRS verified some basic info on it so they know it's really from you.  After it is Accepted the IRS processes it then approves it before they send the refund.

 

After Turbo Tax sends your return they are done with their part.  Now it's up to the IRS to process and Approve it.  It has nothing to do with Turbo Tax.  The IRS doesn't update Turbo Tax with the status of your return.  Turbo Tax just gives you an estimated date.
