Refund status

I am not getting the service that I have been getting in the past. 

I went thru the filling out all the information and completing all you ask of me. 

Was told that the taxes were complete and ready to fill. I filled them them was told the they were sent

now I only get a message the the IRS may have delayed processing returns. Help me out here. Is this Turbo Taxs end that has not filled it yet or is the IRS delaying processing all returns

You will have to wait for the IRS to start accepting or rejecting 2020 tax returns on February 12, 2021

You can track your refund status by clicking here

 

Once it shows accepted, you can track your refund on the IRS Where's my Refund website 24-48 hours later.

I have a similar problem:

I completed and E- filed 2020 Fed+CA state Returns on 2/16. Both returns  have been "Accepted" and the taxes due have been withdrawn from my designated bank. As part of the E-File process, I downloaded and "saved as PDF" the return & printed  the returns, The printed returns say "Estimated Return-Do Not File" on some forms etc.   I logged out of TT. When I login 2/17 & today the only file available to view in TT  is a previous, incomplete, and erroneous return file labeled "estimated tax return".  TT asks if I want to "continue". How can I access the actual 2020 "As Filed" and "Accepted" return on TT? Why isn't the actual E-Filed Return saved and available on TT for future access.?  What if I want/need to amend/update the actual accepted return?

Turbo Tax will not have a status on your refund. If the IRS website says processing, this means they are working on it.

 

Please use this link to track your refund from the IRS.
