After you file

Do not rely on the TurboTax website to determine when you are going to get your refund.  Once you e-file or mail your return only the IRS has control over your refund.

 

Did you e-file or mail your return?  If you e-filed, check the status of your return. 

 

Here's help for checking your e-file status:

Most Federal refunds are issued within 21 days of the return being accepted by the IRS (this is not based on when you filed).   Please keep in mind that once you e-file or mail your return only the IRS has any control over it.
