After you file

Oh--you filed your federal return by mail.   Mailed returns always take considerably longer to be processed, so it is not surprising that your federal refund has not yet been issued.    It could take three or four weeks after you mail the return for a human at the IRS to even open your envelope and enter your information into the system.   You can use the IRS refund site to watch for information.   TurboTax will not get any information 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:
