Some
tax returns take longer to process than others for many reasons. Sit tight and your return will – eventually – move along in the queue
Once you transmit your return, your e-file goes to pending status, where it
will stay until it's either been accepted or rejected by the government. Think
of pending as "in transit" or "in limbo".
Once your return has been accepted (received) by the government, they take
over the refund status update duties, since they hold the purse strings. The
status in TurboTax will remain as "accepted."
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.
The TurboTax Refund Tracker, on the other hand, projects an
estimated date range on when you can expect your refund, based on other TurboTax
customers who have already received their refunds.
Hope this helps!
