After you file

Check TT … if it says the IRS accepted the return for processing then they did … how long it will take to process and approve your refund is something only the IRS can answer:    https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/ 

 

 

Checking the IRS site … no record found can be shown from time to time even if you enter everything correctly and this is normal.   I will also be this way if you try unsuccessfully too many times in a row … then you are locked out for a day.

Sometimes people get confused by the “summary” given by TurboTax and use the wrong amount for the federal refund.  Make sure you are only using the federal refund amount, and not an amount that combined your federal and state refunds.  

 

Your federal refund amount is on line 35a of your Form 1040
