After you file

IRS may have accepted your return for e-filing but have not fully processed it yet.  IRS will contact you if there are problems.  There are several reasons why it may take a long time to process.   Once your return has been accepted by the IRS, TurboTax is no longer involved in the processing. 

 

Every year, millions of Americans wonder where their tax refund is and why it hasn't yet arrived. Under the PATH Act, all tax refunds that include the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and/or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), must be held until mid to late  February of the tax processing year.

 

You can track your refund status at IRS Refund Status.
