If you are due a Federal refund, here are some tips when using the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool mentioned above.
- Be sure you enter the correct tax year, SSN and filing status.
- Be sure you are using only the Federal refund amount. Do not include any state refund or any total refund or net refund (Fed and State) that TurboTax may have provided on a summary screen.
- Look at your actual Federal return to get the Federal refund amount to enter, i.e., your Form 1040, Line 35a.
