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

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

 

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:

To track your state 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.

OR——if you filed by mail, expect a long wait.   It is taking the very backlogged IRS six to nine months to process mailed returns.   Until a human opens your envelope and enters the data into the system, nothing will even show up on the refund site, so you will have to be very patient.

After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

 

Did you receive an email from TurboTax indicating the federal tax return was Accepted?

 

Verify that the tax return was Accepted by the IRS by signing onto your TurboTax account.  The status of the federal tax return will be displayed - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

 

When using the IRS website for the status of a federal tax refund - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

 

You must enter Exactly the Social Security number, the Filing Status and the whole dollar amount of the federal tax refund as shown on the federal tax return that was filed and Accepted by the IRS.

 

To access your current year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

 

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

according to IRS News, returns filed in February have been processed unless they have some error.

Some errors put you into a black hole at the IRS, you should call to find out.

States do not have the backlog the IRS does.
