The IRS releases most refunds within 21 calendar days after the e-filed return has been accepted (received), not 21 days from the e-filing date.

Does Where's My Refund? show "Refund Sent" and a date? If it does, it can take up to 5 days for it to be reflected in your bank account, it all depends on the bank, how and when funds are credited.

If your refund status is not at that point yet, check your E-file status here - e-file status lookup tool to ensure your return was accepted by the IRS. If it was accepted at least 24 hours ago, you can start tracking your refund with the IRS.

For the most up to date information on your refund, you can track your federal refund here: Where's My Refund? which provides a specific, personalized date for your tax refund once it is available. You may also download the IRS2Go app to check your Federal refund status.

If your return was accepted less than 21 days ago, hang in there. It can take anywhere from a few days to 3 weeks to go from acceptance to approval.

Here is the general timeline of e-filed returns:

Transmission > Acceptance > Processing > Approval > Refund.

For questions on state refunds, use your State Refund Lookup tool.

If your return seems to be taking a bit longer, please see the TurboTax FAQ below for more information:
