[2022huh]

I efiled my 2022 taxes and received an email from Intuit saying they had been received. When I try the Link for Tax Refund Status I’m receiving an error which reads YOUR’RE DENIED ACCESS TO THIS SITE.  WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

Actually you e-filed a 2021 tax return.   No one will file a 2022 return until next year in 2023.   You do not say how long ago you e-filed the return.   You might be trying to get to the refund site too soon if you just e-filed very recently.

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

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 35a of your 2021 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.

TurboTax gets no information from the IRS after you file your tax return.   Once you file your return only the IRS is in control.    Give the system time to show your return if you just e-filed.   Does your filing status show up as accepted in your TurboTax account?   Or have you only received the email that said your return was sumitted?

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.

Yes I efiled. I received an email from Intuit saying my returns were accepted. When I used the Link to check the status after the appropriate time frame I received a message saying I was denied access to the irs refund website. My concern is that when a Link is placed in an email it should work and if it doesn’t there should be “someone or somehow to address the problem “.   That written this matter is closed.

TurboTax has no control over the IRS refund site---and occasionally it malfunctions.

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 35a of your Form 1040
