After filing, your TurboTax order number can be found on the TurboTax homepage. Scroll down and look for a dropdown menu that says "View order details." You can also view the status of your tax return on this page.

The confirmation number is on the Acceptance notice.   Your acceptance notice is confirmation the IRS has received your tax return.   To Verify your return(s) have been Accepted, follow the steps here.

I have not received my tax refund and I don't have the acceptance conformation number.  I filed on 4/10/23.

When using a DIY program you get an email confirmation of the successful efiling ... there is no " acceptance conformation number " issued.  

 

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted?
Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.

 

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.

 

Note - 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.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.

 

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 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

Also, In the PDF of your TurboTax return, the last page of the federal return should be an "electronic postmark" that shows your name, Social Security number, the date and time that you e-filed the return, and the date that the IRS accepted it.

I have reviewed the .pdf of last three years of my federal tax returns filed through TTax and accepted by the IRS. Not a single year has ANY page that shows when it was filed.  I even downloaded the .pdf file saved in my TTax account. Can  you provide a screenshot of a sanitized page that contains this information?

Make sure you are logged in using the same credentials that were used to prepare your tax return.  Please see this link to verify any accounts under your information.

 

Once you have confirmed the correct account is being looked at, see this link to check your e-file status.  If it shows it was filed, you should be able to access the e-file confirmation page.  If it does not show you have filed, you may need to complete this process.  See how do I e-file my tax return for more details.
