I filed my tax return in Jun 2022. It's Sept now. When I am trying to track my details by filling correct amount and other details, I get response "Incorrect Information"

Are others in same in same boat as I am? I filed my tax return in Jun 2022 and till now I don't see that IRS has picked up my form and I don't see any track of my file. I sent the doc two time but still no tracking detail in IRS.

Did you e-file or mail it?   If you mailed it, the envelope might not even be opened yet.  It is taking the IRS 6 to 9 months to process mailed returns.

 

 

 

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 2021 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

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.

OR——if you filed by mail, expect a long wait.   It is taking the very backlogged IRS six to nine months to process mailed returns.   Until a human opens your envelope and enters the data into the system, nothing will even show up on the refund site, so you will have to be very patient.

Did you efile or mail your return?  Returns are taking a lot longer this year like over 6 months especially if you mailed it.  And if you sent it in twice that will probably further delay it and confuse the IRS.  The Where's my refund lookup is not always updated to check.  You just have to be patient and wait.  Many people are still waiting from earlier in the year.

 "and confuse the IRS."

IRS does not get confused.

They mark your account "duplicate return filed" and put it on hold  (Error Resolution). How you get out of the hold state, I cannot say.
