Thanks for answering!  I efiled and it has been accepted. I got an email right away congratulating me on it being accepted.  As for the irs  "where is my refund' that's a whole other story.  Tried a few times. I keep getting  a "try again later" error. 


The only reason I had asked you if you had any fees is because folks who choose to pay their fees out of their Federal refund have another hurdle to get over when looking for a not-received refund.    Since I now know you had no fees at all, then you are not in that situation, so it doesn't apply to you.

 

Here are some tips when using the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool:

  • Be sure you enter the correct SSN and filing status.
  • Be sure you are using only the Federal refund amount.   Do not include any state refund or any total refund or net refund (Fed and State) that TurboTax may have provided on a screen.  
  • Look at your actual Federal return to get the Federal refund amount, i.e., your Form 1040, Line 35a.
  • You can also try phoning the IRS refund hotline.  I've seen it work for some users when the WMR tool didn't.  800-829-1954
