After you file
You can check to see if your return was successfully filed, check your e-file status. If no status is showing then the return was not completed and submitted.
If you don't see a status, go through the TurboTax File section again. Be sure to go all the way to the end and select Transmit my returns now.
If your return does show a status, then once "Accepted" within 24 hours you can start tracking your refund on the IRS Where’s My Federal Refund? site.
Where’s My Refund? has a tracker that displays progress through 3 stages:
(1) Return Accepted "Received," (2) Refund Approved and (3) Refund Sent.
The IRS expects to issue most refunds in less than 21 days after being accepted. Turbotax gives an estimated date based on the IRS's 21 day timeframe. So it all depends on the IRS and how fast your tax return moves along in the system. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS.
When will I get my IRS tax refund?
