Yes, you can change your email address, but it is not required to track your refund. However, TurboTax do provide updates via email such as a rejection alert, or to alert you that your refund is being deposited into your account, etc. To change your email, please see this related TurboTax FAQ, How do I change my TurboTax account email? https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/4227743

Please follow these steps below to track your e-filed federal tax return:

  1. First, check your e-file status to see if your refund was accepted by the IRS. You can start checking the status 24-48 hours after submission. To check your e-file status, visit this link:https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/
  2. If it has been accepted, then you would wait for the approval from the IRS. The refund process can take approximately 21 days. You can track your refund at:https://sa.www4.irs.gov/irfof/lang/en/irfofgetstatus.jsp

For mailed tax returns, the refund processing time is 6 to 8 weeks from the date the IRS receives your tax return. You should start checking the status of your tax refund 4 weeks after you mailed your paper tax return.
