I have not received my 2018 refund as yet. Has it been sent out by TurboTax?

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted?  

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.

Use this TurboTax website to check the status of an e-filed return and if it was either accepted or rejected -https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/


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

Turbo Tax does not send your refund.  Turbo Tax does not touch your refund.  Were you having the fees deducted from your refund?

 

Your refund comes from the IRS and from your state.   IRS Where's my refund https://www.irs.gov/refunds/

Make sure you are using the refund amount from your actual federal tax return and not the combined amount Turbo Tax showed you at the end.  That was for federal and state combined.

 

When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc.  what does it say?
