Subject says it all. I used TurboTax as I did every year to e-file my returns. I got the usual acceptance emails from Intuit, one stating that my California return was accepted, and one stating that my Federal return was accepted. The Federal acceptance was dated 02/21/2023. It's now 24 days later and no refund so I called the IRS. The IRS researched and said that my return was not received by the IRS until 03/01/2023. The IRS clock started on that day, which means it will be a month or more from my filing date before I get a refund.
Turbotax customer support couldn't help with this, but I think it's a huge problem that TurboTax federal E-filing transactions are being wrongly reported as accepted when in reality they were stuck in queue and delayed. Definitely something everyone should be aware of, and something TurboTax should fix!
