Why is my signature space blank? It’s been submitted to the irs? I filed the 30th. When can I expect an update

When you e-file, your signature is electronic,  It is not going to show up in that spot that says "Sign Here".

Thank you. Also for the status if I use head of house hold to search it doesn’t find me but if I use single it does. But I filed head of house hold.

We have heard there may be some glitches on the IRS WMR site for filing status .    If at some point you are asked to provide a signed copy of your tax return to a lender, etc., you use a pen and sign it then.  The IRS used your 2017 AGI as your signature.

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 federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from 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:

On the IRS site you are also offered the use of an app called IRS2Go

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.
