When tracking your Federal refund on the IRS Where’s My Federal Refund? site or the IRS2Go app, 

you will need your social security number, filing status, and refund amount in order to track your refund.

 

If your return is still pending and not accepted yet by the IRS, you will need to wait until it's accepted to check the status on the IRS website. Be sure when checking Where’s My Federal Refund? site that you are entering only your Federal refund amount. This can be found on your Federal form 1040, line 21a. Also if you paid any fees out of your federal refund, use the refund figure prior to the deduction of he fees.

Also if you filed joint, make sure to enter the filer information that is listed first on the return.

Why is there no record of my return at Where's My Refund (WMR)?

This is normal. TurboTax updates what stage your return is in and the IRS site updates when you can expect your refund:

  • E-filing status is what stage of the process your return is in.
  • Refund status is when you can expect you refund. 

Once your tax return has been submitted, the most up to date information will come from the IRS.

It can take anywhere from a few days to 3 weeks to update. Until the IRS starts processing it on their own, you may not find record of it or the website may say that you have put in incorrect information when tracking your federal refund. As your return moves through the system, the status of it will be updated accordingly. Continue checking the Where’s My Federal Refund?  tool for updates.

Please see the information below on dates and more information about refunds. Returns filed with the CTC tax credit may take a little longer to process:
