Find out if Your Tax Return Was Submitted
- Using the IRS Where’s My Refund tool.
- Viewing your IRS account information.
- Calling the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 (Wait times to speak to a representative may be long.)
- Looking for emails or status updates from your e-filing website or software.
How long after taxes accepted are they approved?
They will provide an actual refund date as soon as the IRS processes your tax return and approves your refund. Most refunds will be issued in less than 21 days. You can start checking the status of your refund within 24 hours after you have e-filed your return.
Can a tax return be rejected after being accepted?
Probably the most common reason that the IRS will reject a tax return is because of errors that are discovered during e-filing. You’ll be able to resubmit your corrected return, and we’ll tell you when it’s accepted by the IRS. When you mail a paper copy of your tax return, the IRS reject codes aren’t applicable.
What does it mean when it says taxes accepted?
Accepted means your tax return is now in the government’s hands and has passed the initial inspection (your verification info is correct, dependents haven’t already been claimed by someone else, etc.). After acceptance, the next step is for the government to approve your refund.
What does accepted mean on my tax return?
Accepted is the status of your tax return— not your tax refund. Once your return has been accepted (received) by the government, they take over the refund status update duties, since they hold the purse strings. The status in TurboTax will remain as accepted.
How can I find out if my tax return was accepted by the IRS?
The IRS doesn’t send an acceptance notification for paper returns. You can track returns online using the IRS Where’s My Refund tool. The tool tracks your return from Return Received – the IRS has accepted and is processing it – to Refund Approved to Refund Sent.

What happens if you submit your tax return electronically?
If you submit your tax return electronically, the Internal Revenue Service will notify you once it’s received and accepted it. This doesn’t mean the agency is done with it, only that IRS hasn’t spotted any obvious problems that require rejecting it.
