I don't think you understood my question. I'm saying why would TurboTax say that the IRS has accepted my tax return however when I go to the IRS website they have not accepted it. Instead my return is still processing.
After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.
