Refund!!!!!

It has now been 21 days, what do I do next? I am desperate for this money trying to make ends meet. This is so frustrating and I’m not sure what other actions I can take other then sit here and keep taking it. With the amount of BS going on with the government I’m losing my mind right now. I’m about to be kicked out of my home, I guess all I can do is keep reaching out to turbo and the IRS? I have never had this issue with HR block. Maybe it’s just an issue with the IRS, but I know multiple people that filed after me and have already revived their Refund.

You are always going to find someone else whose refund arrived faster, and someone who waited even longer than you. That is the way it goes. Returns are not processed “first in — first out.”

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.

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

If accepted, they try to process it within three weeks but it can be longer. if you have earned income credit or additional child tax credit, it will be at least the end of February before you see your refund, due to the PATH act that requires that they hold your refund 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 34of your 2020 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.

direct deposit refunds are done Wednesday.

if you don't get it on the 10th (plus a day or so for it to show in your account) you will wait another week
