Can you help me make sure my taxes we’re approved by the irs

The IRS tool, Where's My Refund shows your refund status and whether:

• Your Return was Received – The IRS received your return and is processing it.
• Your Refund was Approved – The IRS approved your refund and is preparing to issue it by the date shown.
• Your Refund was Sent – The IRS sent the refund to your bank or to you in the mail. It may take 5 days for it to show in your bank account or several weeks for your check to arrive in the mail.

You can also check your e-file status if you sign in to TurboTax, and go to Tax Home. If you've submitted your return, you'll either see a pending, rejected, or accepted status. 

If you used TurboTax Desktop, follow these steps to check your e-file status:

1. Open the File menu.
2. Select Check E-file status.
3. Or, go to the File tab and select the Check E-file Status header.

Accepted means your tax return was received and has passed initial inspection, such as correct Social Security number and correctly claimed dependents. 

Approval can take anywhere from a few days to three weeks for your return to go from acceptance to approval. Once your return has been accepted (received) by the government, they take over the refund status update duties and you can check approval status with the link posted above. The status in TurboTax will remain as accepted.
