I can't find my tax info for 2023 even though i filed. As a result i can't check the status of the federal refund.

[ijoseoa]

Turbotax is saying i didn't file 2023 tax yet i know i paid (see screenshot below).  When i check the documents  i don't see the 1040 file, only the filed tax extension which basically says nothing and has line item 8 checked for some reason. I looked at my 2022 tax documents for reference and that file doesn't have line 8 and has line 4 to 7 populated. How can i find out my refund amount? I tried to download turbotax 2023 desktop and it's saying i have to pay. I don't see how i should have to given i already paid for turbotax online and quite frankly it's not my fault this issue is happening. Is there another way for me to find my refund details?

  You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

Start a 2024 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.

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.

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 2023 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:
