Unfortunately, TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. What does the IRS Where’s My Federal Refund? site show? Does it show processing? During processing, the government reviews your refund. During the review process, they look for math errors on your return (extremely rare in TurboTax) and they also check if you owe back taxes, unpaid child support, or other debts.
If they need to make any corrections, they may offset (reduce) your refund. In some cases, the correction might even increase your refund.
Once that part's done, the government approves your refund, which means it's ready to be deposited or sent. At that point the IRS site will update with a direct deposit date.
If the government needs any additional information ect, usually you will see a code on the IRS website when you check your status. The IRS will also send a letter if they process a review ect.
Please see the TurboTax FAQ links below for more information:
