refund date

[bri1132]

Question for anyone that filed a week to 2 weeks ago.  Did you get you refund basically in 7 days?  I filed mine today and they were accepted by the IRS today and TT gave me an expected refund date of 3/20.  I am hoping it doesn't take that long and they are just going by the 21 days the IRS always says.  Just wondering how long it took everyone that filed.  I have EITC but just filed today so that should not hold it up.

Did you have earned income?  Did turbo tax give you an estimated DDD?  I know the date they use is usually based on the 21 days that the irs says it takes.  I'm used to getting mine with in a week but getting a little nervous this year.

Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.

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

See this IRS website for federal tax refund FAQ's - https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions

Any dates shown by TurboTax are only estimates based on the IRS target of issuing a tax refund within 21 days after accepting the tax return.  That is a target only and no guarantee.

The most accurate date is shown on the IRS website for the status of a tax refund.
