After you file

The calculations done by the do-it-yourself tax software are guaranteed to be accurate.   But th information entered was provided by you---the user--- so if you entered something incorrectly or left information out that should have been entered, the results of the tax return are not guaranteed to be "right."   

 

If you e-filed successfully then you need to track your refund on the IRS refund site by using the refund amount that is shown on line 35a of your Form 1040, along with your Social Security number and your filing status.

 

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

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.
