TurboTax (TurboTax Refund Tracker) tracks whether your federal tax return has been accepted or rejected and projects an estimated date range on when you can expect your refund, based on other TurboTax customers who have already received their refunds. TurboTax does not receive updates on your refund after it is accepted by the IRS . After the IRS accepts the return, the next step is for the government to approve your refund.
If your return was accepted less than 21 days ago, hang in there. It can take anywhere from a few days to 3 weeks to go from acceptance to approval. This time frame is unrelated to how, where, or when you filed and it isn't connected to how quickly you got your refund last year.
The IRS Where's My Refund? lookup service provides a specific, personalized date for your tax refund.
If you claimed an Earned Income Tax Credit and/or an Additional Child Tax Credit and filed before February 15, 2019, you’ll get your refund the week of February 27 at the earliest. The IRS states they will begin issuing tax refunds on returns with the EIC or Additional Child Tax Credit on February 27, 2019
