📚 TAX EDUCATION: ACCEPTED DOES NOT MEAN APPROVED

When the IRS “accepts” a return, it simply means:
• the return passed basic system checks
• required fields were completed
• the IRS received it

Acceptance does NOT mean:
• the refund is approved
• credits are verified
• the return is finished processing

After acceptance, the IRS still:
• verifies income
• matches W-2s and 1099s
• reviews credits
• checks dependents

This is why refunds can be delayed AFTER acceptance.
