A federal return that's been 'accepted' means it has passed an initial screening, which includes some basic checks. Once it has entered this phase, its status will remain the same until it has been “Approved.” This would mean it has been processed and that the IRS has approved the release of your refund.

E-File Mailing Requirements If you e-file your return: If your return is accepted and you signed with a PIN, you're done. You don't need to mail anything else. If your return is accepted and you chose to use an IRS signature form (Form 8453-OL), you need to sign and mail this form.

For more complicated tax returns, the tax service fee you pay is for the preparation of a tax return on eFile.com; e-Filing or printing tax returns is included or free. For information about tax preparation fee refunds, see our Tax Preparation Fee Refund Policy.
