When I call they told me we need to wait until may but now they start sending the child credit so I believe we got our money around Christmas :(
Thank you . This number worked for me. I was only on hold for 15 minutes. The representative was extremely nice . My taxes were accepted 2/17 . They just processed it on 4/13 . There was an error (unemployment) that they corrected generating a higher return. Thanks for the right number
TurboTax needs do a better job than telling their customers to call irs. We used you guys company and you should be able to tell the customers what’s going with their taxes. Instead you guys give the customers an automated Irs number that’s not working!!
@Licia The IRS does not tell TurboTax anything whatsoever about tax returns once they are filed. TurboTax cannot find out about your refund or speed up the IRS for you. Once you file your return, only the IRS is in control.
TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer. “21 days” is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS. Many refunds are taking longer during the pandemic. The IRS is backlogged —-they are still trying to process millions of 2019 returns; they received millions of e-filed on the day they opened for 2020 returns, and now they are burdened with sending out another round of stimulus checks.
Some delays are resulting from incorrect amounts that folks entered for stimulus checks they received. Many people have been confused by the recovery rebate credit and completed it incorrectly. The IRS may delay your refund while they cross-check to see what you received. Some refunds are delayed because of the tax law changes that went into effect recently. If your return has unemployment or the premium tax credit on it, that may be delaying it.
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 34of your 2020 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.

Well 2 months after filing lo and behold the IRS deposited my return. Of course it was reduced by 20%! They wrote that I would have a letter of explanation by the 18th. Not holding my breath!
So when we’re your company gonna tell us that some laws had changed?
Do you mean when will TT give you stimulus and tax law updates such as these ?

Sorry that you are frustrated with waiting for your refund.
My son filed on the same day Feb. 12 - had earned income and child tax - still says processing - filed direct deposit and electronically. Got state refund within 2 weeks. Does anyone know what the hold up is?
I believe the irs is backed up.. That means they haven’t processed your return yet.. I filed last month and have the topic 152..
where did you find this tool you are using?
mine was accepted on 2.19. IRS site still says processing. the phone number for IRS doesnt accept calls.
they are quick to take it, but dont care about giving it back.
anyone actually gotten theres back after such a long wait?
turbo tax is no help at all. i know there is only so much they can do, but come on.
pointless. IRS phone numbers go straight to recording, wont accept calls.
any update? im going on 9 weeks myself.
how did you actually speak to someone?
Finally received my refund. Only took 2 months!! Keep the faith.
did you get them back yet? this sounds hopeful!!
