    Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted?
    Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.

     

    You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large Orange button labeled "Transmit my returns now".

     

    After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

     

    Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.

     

    To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product.


    If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds


    If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899433-how-do-i-track-my-state-refund

    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

    I spoken with the IRS...You took my return without telling about that account.  I will file request for a immediate investigation. I also place a return tracer on it as well.

    TurboTax does not receive any kind of tax refund, federal or state.


    If you requested to have the TurboTax account fees deducted from your federal tax refund, the IRS will send the refund to a third party processor to have the fees and the service charge deducted. The third party processor will deduct the TurboTax fees plus the service charge and then attempt to direct deposit the remaining refund balance into the account that you entered on your tax return.


    For the status of your tax refund you will need to contact the third party processor, Santa Barbara Tax Product Group, using their website -
