    First make sure your e-file was accepted.

    Sometimes people get confused by the “summary” given by TurboTax and use the wrong amount for the federal refund.  Make sure you are only using the federal refund amount, and not an amount that combined your federal and state refunds. 

     

    Your federal refund amount is on line 20 of your Form 1040

    Or....did you file by mail?  If so that is the problem.  The IRS is not opening its mail or processing mailed returns right now so you will not see anything on the refund site.

    It sounds like you did not file.

     

    Did you e-file?  Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”

     

    When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

     

    First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

    https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

    If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here? 

    https://www.irs.gov/refunds           Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?”

     

    Note: If it says “Ready to Mail” or “Printed” that means YOU have to mail it yourself.  TurboTax does not mail your tax return for you.
