After you file

First, double-check that your efiled return was indeed accepted. If you used Online TurboTax, log in and go to the Tax Home and check the efile status.
If that shows it was accepted, here are some tips when using the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool, although the tool has been erratic at times this year, and can be inconsistent as a return moves through various stages of processing, such as any manual processing.
- 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 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
