After you file

If you are referring to the blue bar in TurboTax Online, it is used as an estimate to track the status of your tax refund. The IRS began processing tax returns today. TurboTax will only show the status of returns (not refunds), such as when the return is actually accepted. You would not be able to directly track the status of your refund from within your TurboTax account. TurboTax is not connected the IRS or state department(s) of revenue refund tracking tools.

 

Please see the TurboTax FAQ below for more information on tracking your tax refund:
