Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

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

I submitted my tax forms on time this year well before an extension was granted. I only received my State tax refund. I still have not received my Federal tax refund.

I have provided my SSN, filing status and amount to expect back and the IRS prompts tell me that no information is available...it doesn't make any sense to me.

Did you mail your return or did you e-file it?  If you mailed it, it could still be in the pile of millions of unopened envelopes that piled up in IRS trailers during the pandemic, and you have to wait for them to get to it.

 

If you e-filed:

 

To check on regular tax refund status via automated phone, call 800-829-1954. (This line has no information on Economic Impact Payments.)

TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  Many refunds are taking longer during the pandemic. 

 

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 20 of your 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.

Thank you so so much for a timely and very detailed reply! I will take your advice and check out the links you provided. I'm a patient person and can completely understand the delay due to the pandemic, but I got a tad worried considering one refund arrived and the other did not. 

 

Thank you thank you!
