This is weird, my California got accepted within an hour (2/24), yet I never got an email that my Fed has been accepted. Someone earlier if the Fed isn't accepted, then neither is the State. So at this point I have no idea what's going on with my return.
So since I used TurboTax desktop, there's no way for me to check my return status?
I assume you are referring to the efile status.
Launch your desktop TurboTax program.
Open your return. It may tell you the efile status of your returns upon opening it.
If not, do this:
With the return open, go to the top left corner of the TurboTax interface and click on FILE.
In the menu, choose "Electronic Filing"
In the next menu choose "Check Electronic Filing Status."
Are you due a Federal refund? If so, and if the above shows your Federal return was accepted, you can use IRS "Where's My Refund" tool to monitor the Federal refund.

NOTE: It's not uncommon to not get an email about acceptance/rejection. I myself have had that problem a couple of times and never figured out why. But check your email's spam/junk folder and also any other email accounts, just in case.
