The IRS refund site does not use the word "accepted." The IRS site will tell you that the return was received or that your return is being processed. But unless you are using the correct refund amount from line 35a on your Form 1040, you will not see any information on the IRS site. A lot of users get confused and use the wrong refund amount on the IRS site.
The date that TurboTax gave you was only an estimated date--it was not a promise or a guarantee. The IRS may take longer than the 21 day average to process your return. And...if you are in a foreign county, the IRS will not make a direct deposit to a foreign bank. They will make a deposit to a U.S. based bank account or they will mail a check to the address you entered on your tax return.
