For a lot of states that's not unusual.   Some states are fairly quick with refunds, while other states can take a long time processing returns--even several weeks--as they crack down on detecting fraudulent returns.     Here are some things you should check:   First, you need to be sure your state return was successfully filed.   If you efiled, be sure your efiled state return was accepted.  If you used Online TurboTax, you can check by looking at the Tax Home in your Online account.   Or did you choose to file by mail instead?  TurboTax does not mail it for you.  If you chose that method, you have to print, sign, date, and mail it.   The FAQ below tells how to check on a state refund.   When you scroll down further there, you will see a link for your state.   Your state's website may have a notice there or a FAQ that tells about how long it usually takes in your state.   FAQ:  How do I track my state refund? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...

If I'm not mistaken you guys just settled a class action lawsuit on this very same thing. I was told $79 and now I'm being tricked into $188 I don't think so I'll call the Federal communication commission and get them involved now.  This is mainly a user community forum.  I'm a fellow user and don't work for TurboTax, but I can tell you a bit about how their prices work.  They say their prices can change at any time.  Historically, it has worked like this: In the early half of filing season, they offer discounted prices.   Then historically on March 1 the prices revert to the late-season pricing.    So prices went up yesterday unless paid prior to then.   As I look now at the product pages, it looks like they may go up yet again at some point.   To make it more confusing, they occasionally run a special discount that lasts a few days.   Are you using the Premium edition?   $188 sounds like the March 1 pricing for the Premium edition with both a Federal and state return.   Starting March 1 this is what is currently showing: Premium Federal  $129 Premium State $59    From the pricing page it looks like it may increase again at some point.   When the next price increase occurs, it looks like the undiscounted price for Premium will become $139 for Federal and $64 for state.      Here's the current Premium product page and pricing  (the slashed price is the late-season price if there was no discount) https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/premium/   I don't know if you would qualify for the Deluxe Edition (it depends on the situations in your return), but the Deluxe edition also increased on March 1, and here's the current Deluxe pricing: Deluxe Federal $69 Deluxe State  $59   If you qualify for Deluxe, you may be able to downgrade.   Online Deluxe cannot handle Schedule C (business with expenses), Schedule D for capital gains/losses from stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc., Schedule E for Rentals/royalty,  or Schedule F, and cannot enter K-1.

Turbo Tax is providing an answer but the words and location are not matching up.   Does that mean the Form 2555, Foreign Earned Income?   If so, here are 2 ways to get there.   In the left menu column, under Federal choose Wages & Income, then choose Wages & Income Summary. You may arrive at a summary page called "Your income and expenses."   Scroll way down that page to "Less common income" and expand that section.  You should see a subtopic for "Foreign Income"   Or if you have trouble with that navigation, here's a shortcut that will take you there:   Go to the left menu column and click on the tab TAX TOOLS, then the subtab TOOLS. In the Tools Center choose the blue button Topic Search. In the topic search line enter the phrase foreign earned income without quotes.  Or if you prefer, you can enter 2555 without quotes. Make the selection in the list (it may already be highlighted), and either double-click it or click the GO button. Next screen is "Did you make any money outside the United States?"

@ashjosh8292  asked:  "Can you see if my refund or if I got a notice from them."   Are you referring to a Federal refund?  No one here can check on your Federal refund for you, but we may be able to suggest some things.     Is "them" the IRS?  Why do you mention a notice?    If you efiled, make sure your efiled return was accepted for processing by the IRS.  You can check at the Tax Home of your Online TurboTax.   Does the status show as accepted, rejected, printed, started, or something else?   If the Tax Home confirms that your efiled return was accepted for processing, then what do you see when you check your Federal refund at the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool? https://www.irs.gov/refunds

First make sure it's not ending up in your email's spam/junk folder.    So check there. If that's not it, then you may be able to verify it in your Intuit Account settings.  Or if you want to change your notification email address, you can also do it there.     In the left menu column scroll way down to the tab Intuit Account. Then once in the account settings choose tab Sign In & Security. See if your email address has a tiny link beside it that says "not verified".  If so, click that to verify. Perhaps once you verify it there in the account settings, it won't ask you to verify it again when you are efiling. Or if you want to change your notification email address, you can do it while you're there, then verify it.
