It will take longer than the normal expectancy most will get it 21 days or sooner. For some reason a lot of people using turbo tax or another entity forms 8862 and 1095A was not received by the IRS. This tax year has been HELL and stressful. Below are my dates as of today:
.FILED thru turbo tax 1/30 --electrically, no indication the forms were missing
.Accepted by IRS on 2/1
.TTurbo had expected refund on 2/21
-- this date came and went called IRS, Called IRS on 2/21, rep said missing these two forms and have to wait for the 12C letter. I didn't wait and faxed my docs on 2/26 - but of course that was not mailed till a few days after 2/21 and didn't get that letter till 3/1 -- and you will need this letter 12C to get the right fax number for your file, otherwise it will go to another place in USA and get backlogged to where it need to go.
.On 3/4 I faxed two forms again to the fax number on the letter, in a few days that Thurs, the WMR finally updated to 152 Refund notice.
.The second week, cycle 11, on 3/15 I was able to FINALLY get a Account Transcript. And didn't get updated again till next week which is today 3/22/2019, which I FINALLY got a DDD that it will be next Wed! OMG, this has been awful!
-- So to answer your question, bottom-line, (1) the soonest you get that 12C Letter that lists the RIGHT FAX NUMBER, it moves a lot faster, if you send to any of the other fax number what someone else has it can delay it more due to sent to a differ depart or state, IRS seem to have many sub-offices across USA with different fax numbers and phone numbers. I would advise to keep up with dates and constantly check your account transcript because that is the only way for us to know what is going on, the WMR don't work and is delayed the T.Turbo home page is inaccurate because when there is a problem with IRS
--HIGHLY recommend, hint to T.Turbo tax that they should assist in updating their platform for our home page filing accordingly, not just us to WMR if not it leaves us customers franticly searching forums, calling IRS several times, confused, so much stress that is unbearable,etc, because we all are still tied to this process, i.e, Turbo hasn't gotten paid if for sure we selected it to be taken out of the refund -- and since if correct the t.turbo software is tied to IRS, so IDK, just that this process was so disorganized, and a lot of lack of information.
Also, if your tax refund don't come before April 15, then Turbo Tax will notify you in late March they will deduct the filing fee if you didn't pay it at time of submitting your tax return. Good luck and eventually you will get your refund, you just have to stay on top of it, check IRS no issues besides what you need, etc.
