If you filed married filing separately you are not eligible for earned income credit. Did you have an amount on line 27 of your Form 1040? If you filed as Single or Head of Household with a dependent child you could get EIC, but you will not get it if you filed married filing separately.

Check line 35a on your Form 1040; make sure that is the amount you are using when you go to the IRS refund site.

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

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 35a of your 2021 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.

OR——if you filed by mail, expect a long wait. It is taking the very backlogged IRS six to nine months to process mailed returns. Until a human opens your envelope and enters the data into the system, nothing will even show up on the refund site, so you will have to be very patient.

Thank you, XMASBABY0. I changed my filing status to Head of Household and am not getting the error message anymore. 🙂
