Hi, How are you? Should I keep waiting for my rax refund? It was accepted on March 17th and it will be 10 weeks waiting this Wednesday? Thanks for your help. Jerry

Once the status of your tax return is "accepted", that means that the IRS has accepted your e-filed tax return as filed. At that point, TurboTax has fulfilled the obligation you paid them for. Check the status of your refund at www.irs.gov/refunds.

I'm attributing it to the pandemic, as to why it's taking so long for the IRS to process a number of returns. I do know a few in my local area who filed back in Feb and early Mar who still haven't received their refunds yet. One of them I'm ware of just recently got a letter from the IRS requesting identity verification, which they did on line. Upon completing the verification they were informed it would be an additional 9 weeks, give it take. So it is, what it is.
