This is normal for a lot of people. The IRS and your local state have separate refunding procedures and schedules, which just means your refunds are processed separately. So that means many people can get their state refund before getting the federal one, and vice versa. You can check the status of your federal return on the IRS website Where's My Refund

Tax Topic 152 is general refund information. The IRS issues more than 9 out of 10 refunds in the normal time frame which is less than 21 days. However, it’s possible that some tax returns may require further review and could take longer to arrive. Please see the information below about Tax Topic 152: https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc152

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.

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:

https://www.irs.gov/refunds

To track your state refund:

On the IRS site you are also offered the use of an app called IRS2Go

https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901548-why-do-some-refunds-take-longer-than-others

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.

I received my state taxes but not my federal it won’t let me check on the irs or the number I called. Says wrong information but everything is correct. Why did I get my state 3 days after I filed on March 5,2020 but I never got my federal it’s been 21 days.

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities. There is no rule as to which one will come in first or how long it will be between their arrival in your account.

Sadly, the IRS refund site has been behaving erratically and has not always reliable this year. TurboTax has no control over this and cannot find out anything about your refund for you.

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. “21 days” is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS. Many refunds are taking longer during the pandemic. The IRS is backlogged —-they are still trying to process millions of 2019 returns; they received millions of e-filed on the day they opened for 2020 returns, and now they are burdened with sending out another round of stimulus checks.

Some delays are resulting from incorrect amounts that folks entered for stimulus checks they received. Many people have been confused by the recovery rebate credit and completed it incorrectly. The IRS may delay your refund while they cross-check to see what you received.

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

You can check the status of your Federal Refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site. You need your SSN, Filing Status, and your refund amount from Form 1040, Line 35a.

Here's How to Check Your State Refund Status.
