I e-filed my tax return for the first time since April 4th and it's been more than a month that I still haven't receive my refund yet. The most frustrating thing is I can't tracks it either on both IRS and TurboTax website. The AI Assistance on TurboTax said: "It seems like you haven't filed your taxes yet this year" but that doesn't make sense when my home page says: "Way to go, You filed your 2021 taxes." and "FEDERAL PRINTED" "READY TO MAIL" Did I miss something? What else am I supposed to do?
If the status at the Tax Home says "Ready to mail", it has NOT been efiled. TurboTax thinks you plan to print, sign, and postal mail the return. If you didn't physically print and postal mail it, then it has not been filed at all. It sounds like you may not have gone to the final screen to transmit the return by efile.
If you haven't filed at all (i.e., didn't file by mail), you can still efile it. You can open the return interview back up, and change the filing method to efile.
- Log into your account, and at the Tax Home or in the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents" for 2021, look for a link "Add a State."
- Click on "Add a State." (That doesn't really add one; that's just to open the return.)
- Once the return is open, go through the REVIEW section to be sure everything is still in order.
- Then go to the FILE section, go through the screens there, and change the filing method to efile.
- Then continue on answering all the remaining screens and at the final step click a big orange button "Transmit Returns Now."
