How can I check if my accepted tax return for 2019 NJ State and Federal via TurboTax e-file is approved?

[12345-7]

Return for 2019 was efiled with TurboTax and charged a fee for both State and Federal together. Is this allowed?

There is no extra fee to efile the Federal and state returns at the same time.   That's the most common way people efile.    The usual product fees apply.

A Federal Deluxe return is $40, and a state return is $40.    However, if you had an additional fee of $40, then you likely chose to pay the TurboTax fees out of the Federal refund, which has an extra service fee.   I'll tell you below how to check on the status of both returns.

The IRS says 9 out of 10 filers who efile and choose direct deposit will get their refunds within 21 days. Some returns are processed fairly quickly, while others require additional processing due to specific items in the return. Some are pulled at random for more thorough investigation.  And at this time of year (February) some filers will have delays due to the PATH Act that I mention at the bottom of this posting.

Did you efile, or did you choose to print and mail the return?  If you filed by mail, it can take about 6 weeks to get a Federal refund.

If you efiled, double-check to be sure that BOTH returns were efiled successfully and accepted.
If you used Online TurboTax, you can sign into your Online Account and check the efile status at the Tax Home.

If that showed it was accepted, you can use the tool at the IRS website below to monitor the status of your Federal refund.   NOTE: You have to wait at least 24 hours after being accepted before using the tool.

NOTE: When using that IRS WMR tool, use only the Federal refund amount, and not any total refund amount that includes a state refund.
The amount to use is on your Federal Form 1040, Line 21a.

NOTE: By law (the PATH Act), the IRS will not begin issuing refunds on tax returns claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EIC) or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) until after February 15. So filers with those credits likely won't get their refunds until late February, or in some cases, early March.

TIP:   While you're at your state's tax website, also look for a statement or FAQ that may say about how long it takes to get a refund in your state and how to long to wait before phoning them.  Many states have such information on their websites.    Some states are fairly quick with state refunds, while some states can take quite a long time, even weeks.
