I filed for tax returns about 3 months ago, and the IRS website says that the return has been received. TurboTax website says that the Federal Tax return has been accepted. It was accepted around the same time as the State Tax , which has been returned to me at least 2 months ago. I keep checking IRS website everyday but the status never changes to “Accepted”. Am I forgetting something or do I just have to be patient (because this is my first return I don’t know if there are any delays but it has been way over 21 days) ?
