The refunds are processed within 21 business days after IRS acceptance of the return. The IRS may have backlob due to covid-19. You can check the IRS website under Refunds tab to check the status of your return. .

Hi Joanna,

Thanks for your reply. I checked the refunds tab on IRS website and IRS couldn't find my return. Not sure if my e-file is transmitted to the IRS from TurboTax. Is there any way to check if there are any issues with my return?

Sincerely,

Kash

You should have gotten a transmission confirmation if it was filed. Go back into your return and make sure that you actually pressed the button to file.

Thanks for your reply Coleen. I checked my return again it shows that my federal return was transmitted on 3/14/21 and the Federal E-File status as Pending. I belive this confirms that i pressed the button to file.

Sincerely,

Kash

Yes, that confirms it. The IRS only updates their information once every 24 hours. The IRS processes your refund. See Where's My Refund. If your refund included earned income credit, additional child tax credit, or stimulus, your refund is expected to be delayed.
