After you file

I haven't either and my return was accepted 01/17.  Last year IRS accepted my return on 01/19 and received my advance within less than a minute of being accepted.  I also tried to look at my paperwork or find the stuff I had to electronically sign to verify the option I selected to receive that refund. (Which when I was filing, I selected the (same method as last year) I couldn't locate any of that paperwork. Just my federal and state tax copies for my return, I have seen a lot of people who have also selected Refund advance, has been accepted by IRS, and is still waiting to hear something as well.  Since there are so many people in the same boat, I'm starting to think there's something else going on. It's even crossed my mind that since this was an election year and the changes being made to the tax laws. that they are waiting until the official date the IRS starts accepting returns on the 27th. At this point, the thought isn't so far-fetched as it may seem.  Just going to be patient a little bit longer since the 27th is in a few days.  If it's not received by then, then I will be upset and worried.
