Checking IRS Tax Refund status

epsl8422 — Sun, 28 Feb 2021 21:40:14 GMT

Hello, I filed my tax on 2/16 and was waiting for the tax return. When I check the IRS check refund status, it's indicating, "We cannot provide any information about your refund. You must wait at least 24 hours after you get the acknowledgement e-mail that your tax return was received by the IRS" I got the confirmation on Turbotax that Federal and CA accepted my tax return on the same day. Is this something I have to worry about? Please advise!

It's been saying that a lot lately, probably a backlog in updating.

@mitchellwood Did you use the Desktop CD/Download program or the Online browser version?

If you used the Desktop program installed on the computer the only copy is saved on that computer. Did you make any backups? You should save the returns as both the pdf file and as a data file ending in .tax2020.

if you used the Online version post back.
