After you file

Are you saying you e-filed your 2025 return because many forms, worksheets and programming have not been finalized? If needed or used, e-filing should not be possible. However, if you did successfully e-file, the return is now sitting on a Turbotax computer until the IRS actually opens e-filing. This usually occurs during the last week of January. However, the IRS has not officially announced a date for 2025 returns. Some sites warn it may not be until mid-February. Once submitted to the IRS, within a few days, you should get an email saying either accepted or rejected. If rejected, you can fix it and resubmit. If accepted, you'll have to wait until you get your refund and then file an amended return. Turbotax will suggest refunds take about 3 weeks from e-filing, but the actual timing varies from return to return 

 

 

note for next year that most tax reporting forms (W-2s, 1099s, etc)  don't have to be sent out until the end of January.
