Federal accepted means the return has been filed and accepted by the IRS, but you have not printed the e-File Acceptance Letter. e-File Complete means you have completed all steps in the filing process - including printing the acceptance letter.

I appreciate your reply but I did print the e-file acceptance letters for all of our clients that we have e-filed so that would not be the case for us. We only have 5 that indicate e-file complete and the date completed is over a month after they were accepted and their e-file acceptance letters were printed. It is very odd. Lacerte support says that they have no explanation for this other than it's the way it is encrypted at the end of the day. I do not even know what they mean by that.
