Looks like your Caps Lock may be on.   You didn't mention the particular state, but here's some information about state refunds in general and how to check on yours.      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 to get to its refund lookup tool.   Some state revenue department websites have a FAQ section or info on their refund lookup page that tells about how long it takes in that particular 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_...   After checking all of the above, if your state received your return and processing is taking longer than the usual time frame for your state, you can phone your state department of revenue's customer service to see if they can tell you the reason for the delay.

@kelseykessel  How was your 2020 state return prepared--Online TurboTax (browser version) or with installed 2020 desktop software?   What did you mean by "found the location?"   Is that referring to a directory on your computer, or are you referring to finding an online return in an account?   What kind of file is it that you are seeing; i.e., what is the file extension?  And how are you trying to "open" it?

I'd like to clarify also  that I already filed my 1040  and my taxes was taken out from my bank account by IRS on April 2.    I prepared my tax with TurboTax and passed TurboTax audit check.    So I  am sure  the amount that the IRS Online is showing that I still owe  would be the penalty for not paying the estimated taxes. 

This is still an issue for TT.  I'm in Indiana and my 1099-R Box 16 is blank and I can't proceed unless it is greater than box 1.  I don't feel comfortable adding figures to a box when the original form is blank.  This issue was reported in January and it is past April 15th and still not fixed. 

The completed 1040 form showed "X" in the routing and account numbers in the form for the "Refund" section, so I was unsure if it was submitted for payment or refund.   I ended up calling support. Support was able to confirm that Direct Pay information was submitted when the tax return was filed. And got some confirmation that I should wait up to 72 hours to make sure it goes through since there is a processing time.   I think the interface for TurboTax could make this more clear that Direct Pay information was submitted and provide an expected timeline of when funds would accessed.   Payment information came early in the filing process, so I was unsure if going back to fix any information would interrupt that process. Bugs are common in software, especially now in the age of AI. The payment and refund part of the process is the biggest part of the process and seemed more like an after thought in TurboTax.   Seeing 2 different links for payment options shown twice on the page after payment was supposedly made when the taxes were filed rather than some kind confirmation that payment information was submitted made matters worse.
