You are always going to find someone else whose refund arrived faster, and someone who waited even longer than you.  That is the way it goes. Returns are not processed “first in — first out.”

TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.

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

On the IRS site you are also offered the use of an app called IRS2Go

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

Once your return is submitted to the IRS, any update would come from them. We don't receive real time updates from the IRS or your state about your return. That information is only for you at that point.

If accepted by the IRS, you can check your refund status below:

If it's been over 21 days since being accepted by the IRS and your tax return is still processing,  you can call the IRS and speak with an IRS agent to get more information.
