After you file

All I can think of is that you sent the filing to the wrong address. I filed late this year using turbotax and within 1  month , State has processed my return. I am still waiting on my Federal. I had taxes due, so I made an on line payment prior to sending in my  filing. This could have flagged my filing and pushed the process forward. I don't know if I would have had a faster  processing if I had a refund due.  You should go to the IRS and your State tax website and register. Your registration should give you access to see details of your situation on their website.
