The Federal and State are two different departments so the date you get your refund will be different for each of them. Unfortunately, TurboTax cannot provide you a specific date for your refund because the IRS does not provide us with any updates after your return is accepted and goes into processing. You will need to continue tracking your refund at www.irs.gov/refunds for a direct deposit or mail date once one becomes available. Please make sure you are entering the exact amount of your refund as shown on your federal tax return. Please refer to your electronic or paper stored tax return to check the following:
- If you filed a Form 1040, the Refund Amount is shown on Line 20a.
- If you filed a Form 1040NR, the Refund Amount is shown on Line 73a.
- If you filed a Form 1040NR-EZ, the Refund Amount is shown on Line 23a.
- If you filed a Form 1040PR, the Refund Amount is shown on Line 13a.
- If you filed a Form 1040SS, the Refund Amount is shown on Line 13a.
Additionally, be certain you are choosing the correct filing status.
- If you filed a Form 1040, the Filing Status is shown on the top of the form above your name and social security number.
- If you filed a Form 1040NR, the Filing Status is shown on Page 1, Boxes 1 through 6
- If you filed a Form 1040NR-EZ, the Filing Status is shown on Page 1, Boxes 1 through 2
- If you filed a Form 1040PR, the Filing Status is shown on Page 1, Part 1 Line 1
- If you filed a Form 1040SS, the Filing Status is shown on Page 1, Part 1 Line 1
