I WILL NEVE USE YOU GUYS TO FILL MY TAX RETURN !!!!!!!!

I HAVE NO GET MY PROMISED RETURN.

WHERE IS MY HARD WORKING TAX RETURN?

YOU DON'T PROVIDE AN ACURATE ANSWER

YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTONE TO REPLY 

YOU HAVE BEEN ACTING SO UNRESPONSABLE !!!

@jbeato777 

So your only post in this public internet forum  is tacked onto a thread that is 3 years old and you are SHOUTING YOUR FRUSTRATIONS  instead of asking for help.

You used a DIY program  to file your return ... so did YOU actually file it ?   

If you efiled, you should double-check to be sure the return was efiled successfully and accepted.
If you used Online TurboTax, you can sign into your Online Account and check the efile status at the Tax Home.  If you used desktop software (CD/download), you can check from within the software.

If that showed it was accepted, or if you mailed the return,  you can use the "Where's My Refund" tool at the IRS website below to monitor the status of your Federal refund.  
https://www.irs.gov/Refunds

TIPS when using the IRS WMR tool:

• Be sure you have waited at least 24 hours after acceptance before using the IRS WMR tool.  Or if you filed a paper return in postal mail, wait at least 4 weeks before using it.
• 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.  
• Also be sure you are using the Federal amount before any TurboTax fees are taken out (if you chose that option.)
• Look at your actual Federal return to get the Federal refund amount, i.e., your Form 1040, Line 35a.

• If the IRS WMR is not finding your info, 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

I contacted the IRS who said my refund is with Turbo Tax. I've gone in circles in your automated system. This is a nightmare.

TurboTax does not receive any kind of tax refund, federal or state.

If you requested to have the TurboTax account fees deducted from your federal tax refund, the IRS will send the refund to a third party processor to have the fees and the service charge deducted. The third party processor will deduct the TurboTax fees plus the service charge and then attempt to direct deposit the remaining refund balance into the account that you entered on your tax return.

For the status of your tax refund you will need to contact the third party processor, Santa Barbara Tax Product Group, using their website - https://www.sbtpg.com/

Hello,

Please let me know the status of my Federal tax return for 2021. Thank you 

@smccluskie You have to check it for yourself.

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted: 

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

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:

To track your state refund:

https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901548-why-do-some-refunds-take-longer-than-others

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.

OR——if you filed by mail, expect a long wait.   It is taking the very backlogged IRS six to nine months to process mailed returns.   Until a human opens your envelope and enters the data into the system, nothing will even show up on the refund site, so you will have to be very patient.

Hi. You could check your refund status by going to IRS-transcript

I'm having the same issue. Both state and federal are saying my tax refund is with Turbo Tax.

@RG2704

Your tax refund was not sent to TurboTax.   TurboTax does not handle your refund at all.

Santa Barbara Tax Products Group, LLC  (SBTPG) is the bank that handles the Refund Processing Service when you choose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your refund. This option also has an additional charge from the bank that processes the transaction. 

You can contact them SBTPG, toll-free, at 1-877-908-7228 or go to their secure website www.sbtpg.com

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/refunds/help/who-provides-pay-with-my-refund/00/26410

@RG2704   And only your federal refund goes though the SBTPG bank to take the fees out.  Not state.  What exactly does  your state say?  State refunds go directly from the state to you.  

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities,  There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals.

STATE RETURN

Make sure your state return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/
