When will I get my 2018 refund? The status online dates accepted

Not A Product Question

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
If over 21 days since being Accepted by the IRS and the tax refund is still Processing you can call the IRS and speak with an IRS agent concerning your tax refund.
Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
Then press 4 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.

You could not have e-filed a 2018 return in 2020, so not sure what you are seeing online. Did you use the current online software and mess up by entering 2018 income? The online program is ONLY for a 2019 return. The IRS refund site would not be showing a 2018 refund. It only shows 2019 refunds. When and how did you file a 2018 return?

I filed my 2018 and 2019 taxes on turbotax. It gave me a whole section for 2018. Like there's boxes for 2018 and 2019. I click both boxes and they have the amounts dated files and both say accepted.
