IRS Return Acceptance Timeframe - Submitted Yesterday at 6AM

I submitted my tax return yesterday morning at 6am through TurboTax and I'm already checking like crazy. How long does the IRS usually take to either accept or reject returns? This waiting game is killing me.

Eli Wang

The IRS typically takes 24-48 hours to accept or reject an electronically filed return. If you filed yesterday morning, you should see an update by tomorrow. Keep in mind that acceptance just means they received it - actual processing time for refunds is a different story.

No worries! We were all first timers once. Just make sure you saved your confirmation number.

Hey guys instead of checking obsessively (like I used to lol), I found this tool called taxr.ai that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats happening. It costs a buck but saved me hours of anxiety checking WMR. https://taxr.ai

Pro tip: Download the IRS2Go app. It'll send you notifications when your return status changes instead of checking the website constantly.
