Federal Return Stuck on Accepted Since 1/26 - State Already Received

Filed my return and it was accepted on January 26th but still showing as just accepted, no approval yet. Already got my state refund deposited. Anyone else stuck in the same situation?

This is actually pretty common right now. The IRS is processing returns in batches, and acceptance just means they received it. The approval process can take 21-45 days for a standard return. Since you already got your state, that's a good sign your return is properly filed. Keep checking WMR or your transcript for updates.

Instead of playing the guessing game, I'd recommend using taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Its only $1 and saved me weeks of stress. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

How accurate is it? Does it actually tell you specifics about your return?
