Only the IRS controls when you get your refund.

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 2023 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.

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 clarify your question.

What do you mean by "access your taxes?"
Do you mean post them to TurboTax?
Do you want to file them?
Do you want to get your refund?
Do you want to access a different year?

If I've misunderstood your question, and this does not completely answer it, please contact us again and provide some additional details.
