No one can give you an exact answer.   Mailed returns take longer to be processed.     When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.   After about three weeks you can start watching for information on the IRS refund site.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.     You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2025 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds   To track your state refund:     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr  

Are you referring to the new No Tax on Car Loan Interest deduction?  Or something else?  Please clarify.   If you are referring to the new No Tax on Car Loan Interest deduction, this TurboTax Help states:   You can deduct the full $10,000 if your income is under $100,000 (or $200,000 if Married Filing Jointly). If your income is higher, the amount you can deduct is less.   The computation for the No Tax on Car Loan Interest is found in Part IV of IRS Schedule 1-A, page 2, lines 22 through 30.   In TurboTax Online, view the form by following these steps:   Down the left side of the screen, click on Tax Tools. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040.  

You can check the status of your return, if you used TurboTax Online, you can see the status of your return on  the Tax Home screen of your account.  You should have also received emails updating you on your return status.     If you used TurboTax Desktop: Select File. Select Check E-file status.   Once your return is accepted, you can visit the IRS Where's My Refund? to check the status of your refund.  Most efiled returns take 21 days to process.  If your refund includes Earned Income Tax Credit and the Additional Child Tax Credit, the IRS will start making those refunds available by March 2, 2026.  

I SHOULD HAVE SAID I COULD BE CLAIMED AS A DEPENDENT   Did you say you could not be claimed as someone else’s dependent, but it turns out your parent(s) can claim you?  Now your parents’ return is being rejected when they e-file, or it will be rejected.    Your part in fixing this will be to wait until the IRS has fully processed your tax return, and then you must amend your own return.  You use a form called a 1040X.   You will go to MY INFO and go through the interview questions to the one that asks if someone else can claim you as a dependent.  Say YES.   Meanwhile, your parent(s) do not need to wait for you to amend.  Waiting will not help them at all.   They can either print, sign and date their return in ink, and file it by mail.   OR   GET IP pin in order to e-file if your dependent’s SSN was claimed on another return   https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-takes-steps-to-help-prevent-refund-delays-by-accepting-duplicate-dependent-returns-with-an-ip-pin-for-2025-filing-season-taxpayers-encouraged-to-sign-up-soon-for-ip-pin-online-account     https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/get-an-identity-protection-pin     If you are the parent whose e-file has been rejected—- follow the steps above to file your own tax return that claims your child.   If it is any comfort, you (and your parents) are among many young tax filers who make this mistake.  We will be seeing plenty of posts just like yours.   And posts from the parents whose e-files were rejected....         The Form 1040X is scheduled to be available on March 4.  The date is subject to change, so check on 3-4 to see if it is ready.   Before that, do not change anything at all on your return.  

Just got off call with support. They indicated a lot of glitches in the product this year.  Just check back later. No estimate.  I asked if it would be fixed before May and they thought would be much sooner.  I may be looking at a different product next year.
