Whats the difference between return being transmitted or being accepted

[RashaseiaLO · Accepted solution]

When you Transmit your Tax Return you are sending it to the IRS from there it will be in the pending status. It will usually stay in Pending status for 24-48 hours before coming back as Accepted or Rejected. If Accepted it just means everything was found correct and nothing else is needed from you. If it comes back as Rejected it means that you need to make the corrections listed, and resubmit.

Yes it has had one bar since ive been accepted on 1/25

[RashaseiaLO]

Great that's good news. I'm not sure why it will say Transmitted on 01/29 after it already has been Accepted on 01/25. Now you just have to wait until your refund says Approved. The time frame can vary.
