How long after i receive my state taxes do it take for my federal taxes to come

The IRS (federal return) and your State, process completely separate. For your federal tax return, if your return was accepted less than 21 days ago, hang in there. It can take anywhere from a few days to 3 weeks to go from acceptance to approval. 

Here is the general timeline of e-filed returns:

Transmission > Acceptance > Processing > Approval > Refund.

For the most up to date information on your refund, you can track your federal refund here: Where's My Refund? which provides a specific, personalized date for your tax refund.  You may also download the IRS2Go app to check your Federal refund status.

If your return seems to be taking a little bit longer, please see the TurboTax FAQ below for additional information:

Why do some refunds take longer than others?
