If your return has been accepted, then you will need to be patient while the IRS processes your return.

Sometimes people get confused by the “summary” given by TurboTax and use the wrong amount for the federal refund. Make sure you are only using the federal refund amount, and not an amount that combined your federal and state refunds.

Your federal refund amount is on line 35a of your Form 1040

If you are getting earned income credit on line 27 or additional child tax credit on line 28 You are subject to the delay required by the PATH act. Do not expect your refund earlier than late February.

Yes, if TurboTax said your tax return was accepted, the IRS has accepted it. As Xmasbaby points out, you will need to wait for the IRS to process your return and issue your refund.

Tax return transcripts are updated about once a week, so that isn't a good source for up to the minute information.

Where's my refund? is updated at least daily.
