Tax refund

[Kammiewilliams77]

Filed March 21st. Was accepted by Turbo Tax. Still have not received return. IRS website says it cannot provide any information. Help! I need my return!

"Accepted" means accepted by the IRS--not TurboTax.

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 20 of your Form 1040

So I tried that too. I put in just the federal amount return. I put the exact date I filed. It still says Cannot provide information. So frustrating!

Did you e-file?  Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”

When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here? 

https://www.irs.gov/refunds           Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?”

Note: If it says “Ready to Mail” or “Printed” that means YOU have to mail it yourself.  TurboTax does not mail your tax return for you.

"I put in the exact date I filed"   Why are you entering a date?  The IRS site does not ask for a date.  It asks for your Social Security number, your filing status, and the exact amount of your refund.
