What does Accepted mean?
by TurboTax• Updated 4 months ago
Accepted means your tax return was received and has passed initial inspection, such as correct Social Security number and correctly claimed dependents.
It can take anywhere from a few days to three weeks for your return to go from acceptance to approval. The IRS can only help you after more than 21 calendar days have passed.
Select your situation for more details.
