After you file

Ok so you efiled the fed and hopefully you mailed in the state already... if not use the ADD A STATE trick to open the account and switch to efile state in the FILE tab.

 

Now for the federal return ...


If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status -

When using the IRS WMR tool, be sure you enter the correct SSN and filing status.

 

Use only the Federal refund amount.  Do not use any combined total refund figure that TurboTax may have shown you that includes the state refund, if applicable.


Look at your actual 2019 return to get the Federal refund amount.  Be sure you are using what is displayed on your Federal Form 1040, Line 21a for the Federal refund amount.

 

Due to the pandemic and the stimulus payments being handled by the IRS, the IRS has delayed the processing of many tax returns.
