"SUBMITTED"
Your federal/state return has been submitted and is waiting for IRS/state acknowledgement.

"ACCEPTED"
Your federal/state return has been accepted by the IRS/state.
If you are expecting a refund, the IRS usually processes refunds within 2 weeks. You may check and follow up your refund status on the IRS or state website.
If you owe tax and are paying by mail, print your payment voucher and mail it with your payment. You may also pay the tax due directly on the IRS or state website.
-
"REJECTED"
Your federal/state return has been rejected by the IRS/state.
Select the option to correct your rejected return. After making the correction, you must resubmit the return for e-filing again.
