My taxes were accepted almost 3 months ago but I still haven’t gotten my money, and it’d help out a lot for Christmas. What the mess takes so long after it’s accepted?🙄

    Are you sure your return was accepted?

     

    When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

     

    First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

    https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

    If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here? 

    https://www.irs.gov/refunds           Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?”

     

    Note: If it says “Ready to Mail” or “Printed” that means YOU have to mail it yourself.  TurboTax does not mail your tax return for you.

     

     

    Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

    You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 20a of your Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

    To track your state refund:

    What does it say when you check on the IRS site?

     

    To call the IRS:IRS:  800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri

    Listen to each menu before making the selection.

    First choose your language. Press 1 for English.

    Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.

    Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".

    Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  

    Then press 3 "for all other questions."

    Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent.
