How long for IRS to approve return after they received it? Anyone have recent experience?

I filed my taxes electronically last week and got confirmation that the IRS received it. The Where's My Refund tool just shows received. Anyone know how long it typically takes to get approved and get my refund? Really need this money soon.

Did you claim any credits? That usually slows things down big time

Does paying tax prep fees upfront vs refund deduction speed up IRS direct deposit time?

Filed my taxes on Friday and paid the preparation fees upfront instead of having them taken from my refund like I usually do. Someone told me that when fees come out of refund, Santa Barbara bank has to process their cut first which slows everything down. Anyone know if paying upfront actually makes refund come faster?

doesnt matter which way u do it tbh the irs gonna take they sweet time anyway lololol

The real pro tip is doing your taxes yourself with free file. Skip the fees completely!

TurboTax Status Glitching Between "Pending" and "Paid" - WMR Shows Accepted 1/18 but Transcript Blank for $4,149 Federal Refund

Filed through TurboTax and getting weird status changes. Yesterday showed fees paid and 5-day early refund message, today its back to pending. WMR shows accepted since 1/18 but my transcript is completely blank when I check it. I'm expecting a refund of $4,789 total ($4,149 federal, $640 from Washington state, and $0 from Idaho). When I log into my TurboTax account it shows: FEDERAL - ACCEPTED - $4,149 - 01/18/2025 STATE WA - PENDING - $640 - 01/16/2025 STATE ID - ACCEPTED - $0 - 01/22/2025 I submitted my federal return on 01/16/25 with an estimated IRS refund date of 02/08/25, but the status keeps changing. The TurboTax dashboard shows "Submitted" and "Pending" under my $4,789 refund amount. The IRS Where's My Refund tool confirms my federal was accepted on 1/18, but when I try to check my transcript, there's absolutely nothing there - completely blank. I've tried refreshing and checking at different times of day. Is anyone else experiencing these glitchy status changes? One minute it says my fees are paid and I'll get my refund in 5 days, then it switches back to pending. I don't understand why my transcript would be blank if my return was accepted over a week ago.

anyone else notice turbotax be acting extra weird this year? like pick a status and stick with it smh

YES! Mine went from accepted to pending back to accepted in like 2 hours 🤦‍♀️

protip: stop checking multiple times a day, ur just gonna drive urself crazy. set a reminder for next week and chill
