TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.
Once your return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS.

How long is it taking to receive the federal tax return
this is worthless i have now wasted 4 hours trying to get answers and help and cant get a liv e agt or a response
@bap2 You are posting to a two year old thread. No wonder no one paid any attention to it. However, the answer below is still correct--if your return was accepted, then only the IRS has any information. TurboTax does not know what the IRS is doing with your refund. You can only track it on the IRS site. You have to enter your SSN, your filing status and the exact refund amount from line 20a of your 2018 Form 1040 to track your federal refund.

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to know to track my federal refund!
I send my taxes on the mail on April 13 I got my state tax return
But I'm still waiting for my federal tax I'm getting worry what about if it got lose on the mail and the federal government never got it
I try to check on the IRS web site but it said no match
Any suggestions
Did you mail federal and state in separate envelopes? Federal goes to a different place. Some people have been mailing both together to the state.
And Make sure you are using the refund amount from your actual federal tax return and not the combined amount Turbo Tax showed you at the end. That was for federal and state combined.
i never got my federal tax return for 2018 where did it go?
Was your return accepted?
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:
https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/
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.
Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.
You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 20a of your Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:
Refunds take about 21 days after the IRS has accepted your E-filed tax return. Please see below for more information.

I submitted my tracing information to irs.gov and it keeps saying wait 24 hours, I filed on Feb 1st
Did you go all the way through the File tab, through the 3 steps and hit the big orange Transmit Returns Now button?
You can check your efile status here
https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/
When you efile you get back 2 emails. The first email only confirms the transmission. The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.
When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc.

The IRS reports that they issue 9 out of 10 tax refunds within 21 days, it's possible your return may require additional review and take longer to process.
Taxpayers who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) may experience a refund delay. The IRS usually begins issuing tax refunds on returns with the EIC or Additional Child Tax Credit in late February.

If over 21 days since being Accepted by the IRS and the tax refund is still Processing you can call the IRS and speak with an IRS agent concerning your tax refund.
Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.
Then press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
It should then transfer you to an agent.
