Does a refund of $3400 trigger an audit from the IRS?

[Alee3]

I did my Turbo tax, and am getting about $3400 back in refund due to overpayment of estimated tax. Will that large amount trigger an IRS audit?

Generally not.  A $3,400 refund is not considered a huge refund.

In the scheme of things $3,400 is not an extra large refund.  

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. 

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

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

Thank you, I had filed before I saw these answers, but Thank you! I feel better! I just checked my email, and the Feds have accepted the return!
