I still have not received my tax return from 2021, can I find out where they are?

When did you file the 2021 tax return?  If it was filed after April 15, 2025 then any refund has been forfeited since it is beyond the 3 year limit from the due date of the tax return.

 

Otherwise -

 

You may want to contact a Taxpayer Advocate in your area.  See this IRS website for Taxpayer Advocate - https://www.taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/ or call 1-877-777-4778

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing or the timing when the IRS/State releases your refund. 

 

Your refund could be offset. The IRS and State Governments have the ability to offset a refund to pay for certain past due debts.  You generally will receive a letter stating what the offset was for.   

The IRS provides a toll-free number, (800) 304-3107, to call for information about tax offsets.

 

Here are a few FAQs to help you track your refund:
When will I get my federal tax refund?
How do I track my state refund?
Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"?

Why do some refunds take longer than others?

What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing or the timing when the IRS releases your refund. 

 

You will need to contact the IRS for information. It might be easiest to set up an account with them.

I have not received mine either. You must call the IRS directly.
