Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Normalmind9 

First of all---your tax refund is not ever touched by TurboTax so TurboTax does not "release" it.   Your refund comes from the IRS and/or the state.   If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from the federal refund, then a third party bank handles that and sends your refund---AFTER the IRS releases it.   

Your child tax credit is not a separate check you will receive.   It is part of the refund on your 2021 tax return.   The amount you could get was on line 28 of the Form 1040 if you filed a 2021 tax return.    The total amount of your refund was on line 35a.

If you filed your tax return by mail it will take six to nine months for the IRS to process your return since they are so backlogged.   If you e-filed it should be quicker, but might still take several months.

Did you e-file?

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 2021 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.
