@lori-i-drum Received and Accepted are the same thing.
The IRS has these stats on their website - https://www.irs.gov/refunds
When to expect your refund
Processing your refund usually takes:
- Up to 21 days for an e-filed return
- 6 weeks or more for returns sent by mail
- Longer if your return needs corrections or extra review
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.
