Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

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

Has anyone had a hold on their account due to job verification? How long before you refund was released? My employer messed up my social on my W2.

I haven't received any letter. I just called because it had been over 6 weeks since I filed

@nikitamorant-nm There are many people experiencing this long delay, unfortunately. 

If your return on the Where’s My Federal Refund? site shows processing, during this time the government reviews your refund. During the review process, they look for math errors on your return (extremely rare in TurboTax) and they also check if you owe back taxes, unpaid child support, or other debts. 

If they need to make any corrections, they may offset (reduce) your refund. In some cases, the correction might even increase your refund.

Once that part's done, the government approves your refund, which means it's ready to be deposited or sent.  At that point the IRS site will update with a direct deposit date. 

 

Continue to monitor your refund on the IRS Where’s My Federal Refund? site for updates. Updates are made daily, usually overnight. You may also download the IRS2Go app to check your Federal refund status.
