Have you received an official indication that the IRS accepted your efiled return? Was it an email? The first email will only say the return was successfully transmitted. A second email comes later saying if it was accepted or rejected.
EDITED: The following info assumes you used Online TurboTax for your 2020 return (you didn't say). If you used desktop software, the following method won't apply, but you can check the efile status inside the software , not on the TurboTax website.
If you prepared your 2020 return in Online TurboTax, log into TurboTax, go to the Tax Home (it may already open there). Confirm there that it shows there that your 2020 efiled return was indeed accepted. Which of these terms does it show for the status there: pending, accepted, rejected, printed, or something else?
For the 2019 AGI look at the 2019 PDF, specifically on the 2019 Form 1040, Line 8b. Does that match what you found at the IRS website on your 2019 tax return transcript?
If your 2020 Federal return has been accepted, AND if you are due a Federal refund, use this IRS WMR tool to see if it's showing up in the tool yet at the IRS:
Here are some tips when using the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool:
- Be sure you have waited at least 24 hours after acceptance before using the IRS WMR tool.
- Be sure you enter the correct SSN and filing status.
- Be sure you are using only the Federal refund amount. Do not include any state refund or any total refund or net refund (Fed and State) that TurboTax may have provided on a screen.
- Also be sure you are using the Federal amount before any TurboTax fees are taken out (if you chose that option.)
- Look at your actual 2020 Federal return to get the Federal refund amount, i.e., your Form 1040, Line 35a.
You can also try phoning the IRS refund hotline. I've seen it work for some users when the WMR tool didn't. 800-829-1954
