How do i find out the amount i will be receiving back through state taxes? i need that information in order to track my refund on irs.com

Ok ... you are mixing up apples and oranges ... the fed and state refunds come from totally separate taxing authorities.  So you need the state refund amount  to track the state refund on the state web site ... if you have not yet saved a PDF of the return do so now so you can see both returns.

 

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted?

 

You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large Orange button labeled "Transmit my returns now".

                                       

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 do this?

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ to check the status of an e-filed tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/return-status/help/how-do-i-check-my-e-file-status/01/25538

 

If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899433-how-do-i-track-my-state-refund

 

 

You have to sign onto your  online account using the exact same User ID you used to create the online account.

 

Close all TurboTax windows on your web browser (including this one).  Copy and paste the account recovery website link onto a new web browser window and run the tool.

Use this TurboTax account recovery website to get a list of all the User ID's for an email address.  Run the tool against any email addresses you may have used - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery

 

If none of the user ID's received will access your  account, then use the option shown in blue on the account recovery website, "Try something else"

 

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

 

To access your current or prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID 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) or Download .tax file

You do not enter a state refund amount on the IRS site.  The IRS is only for federal tax, not state tax.

 

If you are trying to check on your federal refund then you need the amount of your federal refund from line 20 of your federal Form 1040, your Social Security number and your filing status.

 

Look at your tax returns and find the amounts on them.  The amounts of your refunds are also shown in your online account.

 

Did you forget how to access your account?

You have to access your iaccount for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

 

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.
