What is the status of the e-filed tax return?  What is the status of the tax refund?   Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted? Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.   You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".   After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.   Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.   To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product. If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...   After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website. See this IRS website for federal tax refund FAQ's - https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions

See https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/prepare-2020-2019-2018-tax-return/L6De9oWON_US_en_US   Prior-year returns must be paper-filed, as e-filing is no longer available for them. We'll walk you through that process when you get to the File section in the software.

If you are looking for your refund, you can check the IRS Where's My Refund.   If you are needing to see/print your return: To access your tax returns (current or prior year) you will sign into the TurboTax website with the user ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/   Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)   As an alternative for current year return, when you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a State (You will not really be adding a state).    This will take you back in to the 2024 online tax return.   Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Find the Print Center and choose the year you want to print.  If you want your full return including worksheets, choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets.   In TurboTax Online, follow these steps to print/view your return and all of the informational worksheets after you have filed:   Sign in to TurboTax Scroll down to Your Tax Returns & Documents Select 2024 and then Add a State (You aren't actually adding a State but this gets you back into the Print Center) From the left panel Select Tax Tools, scroll down a little and select Print Center Select Print, save or preview this year's return Select the 2024 Federal and/or State return box Choose to Include TurboTax and government worksheets Select View or Print Forms  

Did you file your federal with TurboTax for the year you are wanting to file the state.  If not, you will not be able to. I would suggest going to your State's Website and seeing if they have an online filing for state only returns.   How do I contact my state Department of Revenue?

I assume you have letters from Arkansas? TurboTax has a special phone number for help with tax letters. Click on the blue button that says "Get help from TurboTax support" after you click here.   Just in case, How to submit documentation for accuracy guarantee claims.

Yes in 2020 I used turto file as I had many many years. I'm being told by Arkansas that we owe 6938.00 I don't understand that. I lived in Arkansas that year and it was filed for texas. My husband worked in Texas but they holding up my daughters taxes now. 

That is because TurboTax stupidly doesn't connect the 7203 to anything.   You need to manually only enter any allowable losses and then next year manually enter any usable carryover losses.  It doesn't do anything automatically so you need to manually do it all.

When you go into the account you filed them with, can you see 2020 returns? Please only use one thread for your questions.   To access your tax returns (current or prior year) you will sign into the TurboTax website with the user ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/   Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)   As an alternative for current year return, when you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a State (You will not really be adding a state).    This will take you back in to the 2024 online tax return.   Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Find the Print Center and choose the year you want to print.  If you want your full return including worksheets, choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets.   In TurboTax Online, follow these steps to print/view your return and all of the informational worksheets after you have filed:   Sign in to TurboTax Scroll down to Your Tax Returns & Documents Select 2024 and then Add a State (You aren't actually adding a State but this gets you back into the Print Center) From the left panel Select Tax Tools, scroll down a little and select Print Center Select Print, save or preview this year's return Select the 2024 Federal and/or State return box Choose to Include TurboTax and government worksheets Select View or Print Forms

  Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities,  There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals.  Some states process returns quickly and some are very slow.   STATE RETURN Make sure your state return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   To track your state refund:       ttps://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing of your return or the release of your refund.   Here are a couple FAQs to track your refund: When will I get my federal tax refund? How do I track my state refund? Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"?
