It has been several weeks.. Why is my refund taking so long?

How do I find out where my tax refund is?

The IRS processes most e-filed tax returns within 21 days. If yours is delayed beyond that amount of time, you’ll first want to confirm your e-file status to make sure your tax return was completely filed and “Accepted” for processing. Once you confirm they were accepted, you can use TurboTax’s Where’s My Refund tool to track both your federal and state refunds.

If you printed and mailed your tax returns, they can take 6 weeks or longer to process. If you still don’t have your refund after the appropriate time has passed, you might want to Contact the IRS to find out if there is a reason for the delay. 

And if your tax returns were “Rejected”, you’ll see the reject code when you check your e-file status with TurboTax. Once you know what needs to be corrected, you go back into your tax return, fix the concern, then refile your taxes.
