You are always going to find someone else whose refund arrived faster, and someone who waited even longer than you. That is the way it goes. Returns are not processed “first in — first out.”

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 35a of your 2021 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

Me too I’m so Happy DDd 03/09. But I e heard so many bad reviews of this bank through Turbo Tax and Credit Karma holds your money for forever and take out extra hidden fees. Have you heard of such?

@mobiledetailga-g The IRS handles your return once you submit it and it is received. To track your federal refund, please look on the IRS Where's My Refund site: Where's My Refund?

We suggest you contact the IRS when it has been longer than 21 days from acceptance. Please review the article below.

What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?
