What happens when taxes aren’t approved

It just means the IRS has not yet approved your tax return.  What happens now?  You have to wait on the IRS.  It's not TurboTax, once you've filed your returns and they've been accepted, TurboTax has noting to do with the process.  Three weeks to process a return and the refund is normal.
