After you file

TurboTax gets no information from the IRS after you file your tax return.  TT cannot find out anything for you.   Your only source of information is the IRS.

 

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 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

And.....filing at the earliest possible date can lead to long delays instead of a quick refund.   Sometimes it is the very early returns that are filed before the IRS even begins to accept e-files are the ones that end up under review or requiring identity verification,  causing you to wait for months.   For your 2025 return----time it differently and wait until at least mid-February to file.
