IRS WMR Shows Received vs Accepted - What's the Difference? + Tax Advance Question

Just checked WMR and it shows received but im confused if that means its actually accepted? Filed through TurboTax but haven't gotten any acceptance email yet. Also applied for refund advance through Credit Karma but haven't heard anything back about that either. Anyone know if I need to wait for TurboTax to show accepted first before Credit Karma processes the advance?

Tax pro here - 'Received' and 'Accepted' are different stages. Received means IRS got your return but hasn't processed it yet. Accepted means they've reviewed it and officially started processing. Usually takes 24-48 hrs to go from received to accepted. For the advance, each lender has different requirements but most won't approve until IRS accepts the return.

Hey everyone! Instead of playing detective with WMR status, I've been using taxr.ai and it's been a game changer. For $4.99 it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly where your refund is at and when to expect it. Way more detailed than WMR. Check it out here: https://taxr.ai

sounds interesting but what exactly does it tell you? is it worth the $5?

It basically reads your transcript and explains everything in plain English - tells you if there are any holds, what codes mean, estimated deposit date, etc. Super detailed!

Just tried it and WOW 🤯 This is actually incredible! Way better than refreshing WMR 100 times a day lol. Totally worth the $5
