It has been more than 48 hours with no change in the status of my tax return. I want to confirm it was received.

After you file
You should have received an email from TurboTax stating your return
was "accepted", meaning your return was successfully sent to the IRS to
be
processed. Once your return has been accepted (received) by the
government, they
take over the refund status update duties, since they hold the purse
strings. Your status on TurboTax will stay as "accepted".
Once
the IRS begins to process your
return, it can take up to 21
days to fully process and issue your refund. Many different
factors can affect the timing of your refund after they
receive your return. Use the following information to follow the status
of your
return with the IRS.
Once they start processing your return, the Where's My Refund? tool includes a tracker that displays
progress through 3 stages: (1) Return Received, (2) Refund Approved,
and (3) Refund Sent. It also
provides an actual
personalized refund date as soon as the IRS processes your tax return
and approves your refund. It doesn't show information about amended
returns.
