After you file

@dapa300 Did you e-file your mom's return?  Or file it by mail?  If you filed by mail it is going to be months before you see anything.  It is taking the IRS six to nine months to  process mailed returns.  Until a human opens the envelope and enters the information into the system, nothing will show up on the IRS refund site.

 

If you e-filed:

 

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

 

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2021 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:
