I filed my taxes January 29 and it says it has been accepted but not approved. I was curious as to why it said I was supposed to get my refund February February 7 and I still haven’t received it

The IRS is getting more and more vigilant to prevent identity theft and fraud. Last year in 2023 they flagged over a million returns for fraud by early March. People who file very early in the season are sometimes scrutinized more. Do not take it personally. TurboTax does not get any information from the IRS after they accept your return, so no one at TT knows that your refund is delayed or why. All you can do is wait for the IRS to finish processing your return. Watch the refund site. If the IRS wants more information from you they will request it.If they want you to verify your identity, you must follow the IRS’s instructions in order to do that. In many cases they will send you a letter—and you will have to wait for that letter.

Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 35a of your 2023 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:
