    To check on regular tax refund status via automated phone, call 800-829-1954. (This line has no information on Economic Impact Payments.)

     

    Make sure your e-file was accepted:

     

    https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

     

     

    TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  Many refunds are taking longer during the pandemic. 

     

    Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. 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 20 of your Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

    If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

    @Surya1    Were you supposed to get, and did you actually receive your state refund ?

    ________________________________________

    Not even clear if this person e-filed, or mail-filed themselves...though an IRS response seems to indicate the IRS received the tax return in question.

    Maybe it's time to contact an IRS  tax advocate???  (if they're even open?)

    @Surya1 Looking back at your previous posts, it does seem like your federal return was accepted since you have received your state refund.  Since you do not seem to be getting anywhere with checking on the IRS refund site, and you do not mention receiving any letters from the IRS asking for identity verification, etc., not sure what the hold up is--beyond the backlog that has been caused by the pandemic.

     

    At the following IRS website, find the USA map and click on your state, and it will give you the number of your area's IRS Taxpayer Advocate.

    If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

     

    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
    If over 21 days since being Accepted by the IRS and the tax refund is still Processing you can call the IRS and speak with an IRS agent concerning your tax refund.
    Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
    When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
    So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
    Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
    Then press 3 "for all other questions."
    Then press 2 "for all other questions."
    - When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
    - After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

    Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
    Then press 4 for all other inquiries
    It should then transfer you to an agent.
