Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If the IRS site (as you indicated) shows that they have your return, any delays are now due to the IRS.

I previously posted a portion from the IRS site that indicates efiled returns are typically/generally (note no guarantees) processed within 21 days...but I suspect this is 21 business not calendar days and also I suspect days are most likely counted from date of receipt of return by IRS not date when sent to TT...and as some of us know, there were significant delays on part of TT central transmittal processing center in sending some of our returns to the IRS despite employee claims otherwise because hitting submit in TT only sends to the TT central transmittal processing center NOT directly to the IRS. So claims otherwise from TT employees (that TT has nothing to do with your return once you submit it to TT) was IMO nonsense.

 

And as I previously posted, a number of financial sites have been speculating that due to current circumstances processing of returns/refunds by the IRS may be delayed this year (but of course earlier you file the better IMO since at least you are at the head of the line so to speak).  If your return was immediately (ie same day) accepted by the IRS upon submission to TT then you are just at the 21 calendar days.  And furthermore the 21 days appears to be just an estimate by the IRS--assuming of course no issues wrt special circumstances (IRS won't begin processing returns having certain credits for example until specified date even if you file earlier)  or errors.

 

I know we all need/want our refunds ASAP.  But probably a little too early to panic unless like some others never received acceptance/rejection through TT or in searching IRS site only get error message about no such return found.

 

Good luck.
