After you file

Sorry---TurboTax cannot help or speed up the IRS for you.   It can take nine weeks or more after you verify your identity to get your refund.   The IRS does not provide any information to TurboTax after you file your tax return.   Only the IRS can tell you when you will receive it.  You can keep watching the IRS refund site or you can try calling the IRS.

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 2023 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:
