We don't know what you are looking at.  You'll need to be more specific.

 

When you log into your Online account and look at the Tax Home page, what is the status showing for your efiled return?   Does it say "pending?"

 

If you're referring to the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool, you won't be able to look up your info there on the IRS website until 24 hours after your efiled return has been accepted.

When  using that tool be sure you use only the Federal refund amount, and not any total refund amount that includes a state refund.  The amount to use is on your Federal Form 1040, Line 21a.
