You have to hit the Transmit Returns button in order to e-file your return or print/mail your return, if not e-filing. 

If you have e-filed using TurboTax Online, you can check e-file status here https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/ 

If you are using TurboTax desktop product, open the software, click File tab in the very top of computer screen and scroll down to Check E-Filing Status.

Your status should show as either Pending, Accepted or Rejected. If accepted, that means the government has your return and will handle processing from here on out. If pending, it's on the way to the government and they haven't accepted it yet. If rejected, you will need to check email for rejection code and fix what needs to be corrected.

And once you have filed successfully using TurboTax, the IRS and/or state handles all processing of the returns and your refunds. TurboTax no longer has any control nor does any processing/handling of the returns and refunds. 

You can use the IRS Where's My Refund site for the latest status on your federal tax refund.

And you can use your State Department of Revenue's website to check status of state tax refund. Choose your state here How do I track my state refund? and it will give you steps to track the status.

@Bvvrlybelle

First please make sure you are logged with the correct USER ID in your TurboTax account.

Please see this TurboTax FAQ for more information:

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/accessing/help/why-can-t-i-find-my-return-in-tax-home-or-my-docs/00/25553

Once you have logged into the correct TurboTax account please see this TurboTax FAQ for more information on how to access a prior year's tax return.

If you did not file with TurboTax in 2018 the IRS allows you to obtain a free tax transcript online and you can usually get it the same day.

Only the IRS can tell you.  IRS Where's my refund https://www.irs.gov/refunds/

 

Make sure you are using the refund amount from your actual federal tax return and not the combined amount Turbo Tax showed you at the end.  That was for federal and state combined.

 

Was your return Accepted?  You can check your efile status here     

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   

 

When you efile you get back 2 emails.  The first email only confirms the transmission.  The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.

 

When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc.  what does it say?

@Dale63

 

There may be numerous reasons why you have not yet received your stimulus payment, the most common reason being that the IRS has not yet processed your 2019 tax return.

 

Please read this IRS FAQ for more information.

Did not complete my filing of taxes for 2020 through TurboTax is tax been filed, completed and submitted?

Expert Alumni

It depends. Since you did not complete your filing with Turbo Tax, you can log in here to periodically check your refund status. Whoever you filed with should inform you if the return has been accepted. For an example, if you would have filed with TT, your landing page that you log into will give you a status of accepted, pending or rejected. If it has been accepted, it means it it has been submitted and accepted by the IRS.

The status for your tax return on the TurboTax Tax Home web page will remain as Accepted if the tax return has been accepted by the tax authority, federal or state.   Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.

 

If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds
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

 

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.
See this IRS website for federal tax refund FAQ's - https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions
If over 21 days since being Accepted by the IRS and the tax refund is still Processing you can call the IRS and speak with an IRS agent concerning your tax refund.
Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
Then press 4 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.
