If you paper-filed by mail, expect delays. You did the right thing by using a tracking service.
The IRS issues most refunds from e-filed returns in about 21 days, although some returns take more time to review. To find out where your refund is, first check your e-file status. If it's been accepted or mailed, you can begin to track your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site. You'll need your Social Security number or ITIN, filing status, and the exact amount of your refund to check your status.
Paper-filers: The IRS is taking longer than usual to process paper tax returns. They are processing them in the order they are received and ask that you wait at least 6 weeks after you mail your return before looking up your refund at Where's My Refund?
The IRS issues refunds, not TurboTax. This means that we can't say for sure why your tax return has not shown up in the IRS system yet. You'll have to speak directly to IRS to find out more about the delay.
When to contact the IRS
What makes refunds late?
Here is a link to a thread that details how to go through the automated phone prompts to reach a live representative. The steps may save you some frustration. You can also search for a local IRS office in your area. It may be easier to contact a local representative than using the main phone number. You can use the ''make an appointment'' option even if you have no intention of going to the office, but that may get you a live person on the phone that can provide you some info. They have access to the same information.
