After you file

Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued

Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or any tax refund.

Call the IRS:  1-800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday

When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.  

So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info).  Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.

Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".   

Then press 3 "for all other questions."

Then press 2 "for all other questions."
