After you file

Was your return accepted by the IRS?

 

The IRS says that they "try" to pay most refunds withing 21 days of filing, but of course that means that some refunds can take much longer. Once your tax return has been accepted by the IRS (or state) TurboTax receives no feedback whatsoever on the status of your refund. Only the IRS (or state) can give you any information after the tax return has been filed.

If the IRS "reviews" your return for any reason (even a random check), you can expect at least a 60 day delay - or longer.
