TurboTax said that the IRS has accepted my tax refund and they have not approved my tax refund

Hello my name is {removed}. I e-filed my tax return through TurboTax and TurboTax accepted my taxes and the IRS also accepted my tax return on April 18th 2024. And the IRS has not been approved my refund. Why the hell they are not approving my refund

Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund. 

If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.
See this IRS website for federal tax refund FAQ's - https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions

Did you read the notice telling you to wait at least 21 days for approval?

Often, it takes a lot longer than 21 days.

Don't take it personally.
