I still have not received taxes. Any idea why?

[CassandraLO · Accepted solution]

If your return was accepted less than 21 days ago, hang in there. It can take anywhere from a few days to 3 weeks to go from acceptance to approval. 

Even though the IRS issues 9 out of 10 tax refunds within 21 days, it's possible your return may require additional review and take longer to process.

For some taxpayers, PATH Act requirements and other identity-protection safeguards implemented by the IRS may account for longer wait times. (EIC or Additional Child Tax Credit)

Other things that can delay your refund include but are not limited to:

• Liens, back taxes, or refund offsets;
• Errors, inconsistencies, or missing information;
• Identity fraud;
• Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation, which can take 11-14 weeks to process.

Also, if you chose direct deposit, your financial institution may need another day or two to post the refund to your account, so keep that in mind.

Here is the general timeline of e-filed returns:

Transmission > Acceptance > Processing > Approval > Refund.

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, unfortunately TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS.

For the most up to date information on your refund, you can track your federal refund here: Where's My Refund? which provides a specific, personalized date for your tax refund.  You may also download the IRS2Go app to check your Federal refund status

Once the IRS accepts your return for processing then Turbo Tax is done with their part.  There is nothing Turbo Tax can do now. The IRS doesn't update Turbo Tax on your Refund.  It's only up to the IRS.  You have to wait for the IRS.
