Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Once the IRS accepts the return for processing only they can tell you where you are in the process ...

 

 

Unfortunately TurboTax gets no information about the status of your refund.
In normal times, the IRS says that most filers get their refunds within 21 days from the time their tax return is accepted.


Many returns are taking longer now since the IRS did not process returns for a while and there is now a big backlog of unprocessed returns.


In a press report on June 8, the IRS said regional offices remain closed due to Covid-19 concerns. Until those offices open, mailed returns will not be processed.


They are now taking phone calls with a limited staff but it's hard to get through.

 

If you efiled your return, have you confirmed that the return was submitted by TurboTax and accepted by the IRS?

If accepted, what does the IRS tracking web site say about the status of your refund?

If you mailed your return, you must print and mail it yourself. TurboTax does not mail it for you. You will not be able to start tracking your return until the IRS starts processing it.
