I filed my taxes back on the 25th of January and when I try to get my refund status on the IRS website it doesn't show me any updates on it? And I'm wondering why?

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.

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

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 35a of your 2022 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.

OR——if you filed by mail, expect a long wait. It is taking the very backlogged IRS six to nine months to process mailed returns. Until a human opens your envelope and enters the data into the system, nothing will even show up on the refund site, so you will have to be very patient.

If you are getting earned income credit on line 27 or additional child tax credit on line 28 You are subject to the delay required by the PATH act. Do not expect your refund earlier than late February.

Please make sure that your return was accepted by the IRS. You should have received an e-mail on January 25th saying that the return was accepted. If not, then maybe rejected.

If the return was rejected you would have been notified with instructions on how to correct the return for e-filing.

Ultimately, if your return was accepted by the IRS, there is nothing TurboTax can do. IRS does not share information with TurboTax about the status of a return after it has been accepted. Privacy Laws protects your rights in that area. So, continue to follow-up with the IRS. Keep in mind it takes longer for some returns to process.
