To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product.

If accepted, you should be able to track your return by the below information:
http://www.irs.gov/Refunds  


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.

To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product.

If your tax return status says accepted, it basically means it has been received. Please see the TurboTax FAQ below for more information:  https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3958820

For state refunds, use your state government's refund lookup service.
