Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted?
Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.

 

You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".

 

After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

 

Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.

 

To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product.
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

 

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

The calculations done by the do-it-yourself tax software are guaranteed to be accurate.   But th information entered was provided by you---the user--- so if you entered something incorrectly or left information out that should have been entered, the results of the tax return are not guaranteed to be "right."   

 

If you e-filed successfully then you need to track your refund on the IRS refund site by using the refund amount that is shown on line 35a of your Form 1040, along with your Social Security number and your filing status.

 

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

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 35a of your 2023 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

To track your state refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

If you did not transmit your return, you never filed.  You need to complete that process now.  If you file a late return, the IRS will only pay interest if they don't pay the refund within 45 days of the actual filing date. 

 

If you did file your return on time, and the IRS has delayed payment for some reason, they will pay interest starting 45 days after the April 15 filing deadline.

 

If you filed your return, the IRS paid a refund, then it depends on how you wanted your refund:

  1. If you asked for direct deposit but used the wrong account number, and it was paid, then it is over.  the IRS did what you asked, and you have to talk to the person who owns the bank account you used.
  2. If you asked for direct deposit but used the wrong account number, and the refund was rejected, the IRS should have mailed a check to the address on your check return.  If the check was lost or stolen from the mail you will have to start a trace.  I don't know if the IRS will pay interest if they reissue the check.
  3. If you asked for your refund on a money card, contact the card issuing bank.
  4. If you asked for your fees to be deducted from your refund, the processing bank should have contacted you if they could not verify the account.  They may have sent the refund back to the IRS for re-issue.  Start by contacting the processing bank, then contact the IRS to run a trace.
