Get your taxes done using TurboTax

And...TurboTax never knows if you received your refund or paid your tax due.  TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS after you file your tax return.   So there was not an email from TT that said you received your refund.   TurboTax only tells you if the IRS received your e-file, accepted it, and then gives you an estimated date for when the IRS should send your refund.

If your return was accepted, then you have to follow up with the IRS to see what happened to the refund.

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.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS. 

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:

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.
