Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I filed my taxes with the injured spouse form on February 16 and they were accepted on February 20. It's been 11 weeks since that date and it still hasn't processed.

It typically takes at least 14 weeks to process a return with injured spouse.

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 20a 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.

Another user recently posted that the IRS told her there is a backlog of these, and to add another 30 days.
