After you file

If you are seeing this on the IRS website, this is normal. It can take anywhere from a few days to 3 weeks to update and show the status, as the status is always changing and being updated. The 21 days is just an estimated time frame. 

Also, make sure you enter your exact federal refund dollar amount. You can get this number from your Form 1040, line 35a. As your return moves through the system, the status of it will be updated.

Since Turbo Tax does not receive any further updates from the IRS once the return has been accepted, continue checking the Where’s My Federal Refund tool for updates. Updates are made daily, usually overnight.
