My daughter asked me a question about what the IRS does when they get her electronic return. She used TurboTax online this year, and her return
was 'accepted' by the IRS. So what happens next? Just because the
return was 'accepted', does that mean that it was filled out correctly
and she will get her refund?

Does a live person enter certain details? Does her TurboTax electronic
return have fields that are robotically scanned and read? If errors or incompleteness is found, will she still get her refind, but a live person
will later audit, or will this trigger questions being sent to her?

BTW, she had lots of trouble with TurboTax and was chatting with them all
the time. The reps told her that her problems were widespread this year.
One such problem was that the instructions said that if you received a
state refund but did not itemize last year, you didn't need to enter the
state refund amount. But, the software auto entered it (guess it knew it
from her last year's filing), and wouldn't let her delete it. The reps
said that the software should let her delete this, but it couldn't be
done.

Thanks in advance for any replies.
