An efile status of "accepted" means your return met all the technical formating requirements and identification requirements for an efiled return, and that the IRS has accepted it to begin processing it.    It does not mean it was correct in regards to reported income, other entries, tax calculations, and refund, etc.   The IRS will determine if it is correct during processing, and if they feel it is correct, then they should approve your return. 

 

NOTE:  If you are due a Federal refund, wait 24 hours after your return is accepted before using this IRS "Where's My Refund" tool to monitor your Federal refund, or it may not find you yet.
