    10 days is not a long time after an efile acceptance.   The initial efile acceptance only means the IRS agrees it is in the proper format to begin processing the return.   The IRS says most returns that are efiled and use direct deposit are processed within 21 days.  Some are quicker, while others take longer.

     

    What do you see at the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool?

    https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund

    Does it say "return received," or "refund approved," or "refund sent?"

     

    When using that tool, use the Federal refund amount shown on your Form 1040, Line 35a.
