After you file
@619rosemary This is someone else's thread and the question asked is not related to your own question except for the fact that you are looking for information about your current 2018 refund--the original poster was asking about a refund from a prior year.
TurboTax does not receive any information about your refund(s) after you file your tax return. If NY says they sent your refund then you need to pursue that with NY and see what happened to it.

Sometimes people get confused by the “summary” given by TurboTax and use the wrong amount for the federal refund. Make sure you are only using the federal refund amount, and not an amount that combined your federal and state refunds.
