Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

Any reason why I haven’t gotten my federal return even though it’s been accepted? All it says it’s been delayed past the normal time frame and hasn’t had any updates.

I finished filing March 13th. Nothing has been said or notified since.

Once your return has been accepted, then only the IRS would know why your return has been delayed.  Once a return is accepted, TurboTax does not get any additional information from the IRS or State regarding the processing of returns/refunds.  The only thing you can do is keep checking the IRS website, Where's My Refund, for information about your refund.  If the IRS makes any changes to your return, they will send you a letter explaining the changes.  The letter can take 3 to 6 weeks to arrive.
