Yes; you may check your e-file status here: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/  and your refund status here: https://www.irs.gov/refunds

Don't worry this sometimes can happen when the system is trying to update information. Give it some more time and check back. 

Keep in mind that until the IRS starts processing your return, you may not find record of it or the website may say that you have put in incorrect information when tracking your federal refund. As your return moves through the system, the status of it will be updated accordingly. Continue checking the Where’s My Federal Refund?  tool for updates.

 

 Also refer to article below for more details on what may be happening with your account.

TurboTax does not receive updates from the IRS once they have accepted your return. The IRS issues most refunds in about 21 days, although some returns take more time to review. To find out where your refund is, first check your e-file status. If it's been processed and accepted, you can begin to track your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site.  You'll need your Social Security number or ITIN, filing status, and the exact amount of your refund to check your status. The IRS will issue your refund when your return is approved.

 

If it has been more than 21 days since your return was accepted,  You will need to contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and follow the prompts for a live representative. The person that you speak with will have direct access to your tax return and be able to provide you with a status update. 

 

When you call, make sure you have the following information:

  • tax year
  • social security number
  • filing status
  • exact refund amount
