If you have received a notification from TurboTax that your return has been “Accepted” it means that the IRS has accepted it for processing. It does not mean that it has been processed yet, just that it is complete and accurate for them to start working on processing your return.
You might also get a message for estimated processing time. This is just an estimate, since TurboTax has no control over when the IRS or any state will process your return, once they have been “accepted” by them.
The IRS issues most refunds within 21 days, assuming that there is no delay and nothing is holding your return.
Also, some returns are subject to an automatic hold due to the Path Act when certain credits are claimed.
