Why isn’t my tax return showing up on the IRS website?

But if it shows as Accepted in TurboTax but you can’t find it on the IRS site, that means the IRS is reviewing something on it.

As soon as they resume normal operations, which will hopefully be soon, processing of these returns will be completed.
