Start at IRS.gov to find out if IRS sent out a check and the check was lost.

Otherwise, you must wait.

TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS. 

 

 

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

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 2024 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

That person lied. I got mine reissued last week. Hopefully it comes in text me in a week and I’ll let u know. I just had TurboTax call me and told them I needed it to be reissued and they said they did on 5/12. But then 5/13 they called me and asked if the issue was resolved and I told them I needed it reissued and he said the guy didn’t do it. So he said he would and he emailed me saying he did and they said it was sent on the 15th. So I guess  should get it within a week. I wonder how long it takes for it to get to me. If they really sent it to me
