The IRS doesn't accept your state taxes, only your federal taxes.   For status updates, you can use the IRS tool Where's my Refund? You can also, contact the IRS for individual returns at 800-829-1040.     For additional information, refer to the TurboTax articles: What if my federal refund is taking longer than 21 days? and Where's My Tax Refund? The IRS Refund Timetable Explained for additional information   You can refer to the TurboTax article How do I track my state refund? to find out more information regarding your refund after you e-file and your state tax return is accepted.   If you requested a paper check, the IRS is phasing out paper checks, and you will receive an IRS Notice CP53E informing you that your refund is frozen because of missing direct deposit information. If you don’t have a bank account, you can choose to enter a prepaid card that has a routing number and account number associated with it.    If you don’t respond to the notice, the IRS will issue a paper check after six weeks.   Refer to the IRS FAQ Understanding your CP53E notice for more information.

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing or the timing when the IRS/State releases your refund.    The IRS states that most federal tax refunds are issued within 21 days of acceptance, however, some may take longer if they require additional review. Also, by law, the IRS cannot issue EITC or ACTC refunds before mid-February. This applies to your entire refund, not just the portion related to those specific credits.   Here are a few FAQs to help you 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"? Why do some refunds take longer than others? What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?

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 2025 online tax return.

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

Go into the "Estimates and other taxes paid" section of the Deductions and Credits page and add your payments.  That will take them off the amount due with filing.  (If you paid the exact amount and it didn't change, then you should show owing zero.)

@Scott_Sa wrote: Tho technically correct, the answer is misleading.  You CAN use QCD to reduce your taxes (if you are 70 1/2 or older): * Say you are withdrawing $50,000/year from pre-tax IRA for living expenses * Say you contribute $5000/year to a charity * You are paying, assuming 20% income tax bracket, $1000 tax on that $5000 of your withdrawals that went to a charity * IF, instead, you withdraw $45,000/year for living, and do a QCD to your charity, you have saved the $1000 in taxes that you would have otherwise paid on that extra $5000. First, that's a 7 year old discussion you are replying to.   Second, you can't do a QCD from a non-IRA account.   Something everyone has missed is that a person could do a rollover from the 403b or 457 to an IRA, and then do the QCD from the IRA.  But you can't do a QCD directly from a qualified workplace plan.
