When accessing the "Get Refund Status" feature on IRS.gov by entering my exact whole dollar return amount as filed by TurboTax, it is unable to find my return and asks for additional information, including the date my return was filed and the method of filing. When I enter in the date and that I filed electronically, it tells me that it has no information to provide on my refund and that I should double check that I have filed correctly. This concerns me, and I would like to get to the bottom of whatever the issue is before I feel confident that the filing information provided here is accurate. There are already some concerning signs that the information that TurboTax is displaying is incorrect, for example it lists that my return was transmitted on 2/12/21 but was accepted on 2/11/21, a full day before. So the IRS accepted my return sight unseen apparently. Ultimately, I just want to know from the IRS the status of my refund with more accuracy than is provided here. I need greater specificity than "Mostly probably hopefully within 21 days, fingers crossed," which does nothing to tell me where in the refund process the IRS is with my return. Any help or advice is welcome and appreciated. And yes, I have already scoured the IRS site to try to solve this directly at the source already. They were as unhelpfully vague as you can imagine.
