After you file

And......not sure what you are referring to as a "tracking number."  There is no tracking number for a tax return when you use TurboTax.  Nor is there a tracking number for the tax refund when and if the IRS issues it.

 

To look for a 2018 tax refund on the IRS site you need your Social Security number, your filing status and the refund amount from line 20a of your Form 1040.
