I e-filed on Feb. 11th, and Turbo Tax said it was accepted. But on the IRS website it says it has not been accepted and is still processing. I was told accounts would be updated by the 22nd. Still nothing. I'm worried something is wrong.

    Do not bother looking for the word "accepted" on the IRS site.  You are past that.  The IRS is processing your return.   11 days is within a very normal time frame.  Check the status from time to time over the next couple of weeks to see if you get approved.

     

    When you are entering income on a joint return, every income entry screen will either have a spot with both spouse’s names there, or when you click to enter a W-2, 1099R, etc. it will ask you by name which spouse it is for.  You do not have to wait for the software to “ask” you for your spouse’s income.
