Does it matter if my W2 has my old address and I filed with my new address? I received the state I am still in contact with the people at that address

As long as you used the correct current mailing address on your tax return it should be fine.  You want the IRS and state to have the right address so that they can mail you a letter or a check.   

 

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities.  There is no rule as to which one will come in first or how long it will be between their arrival in your account.

 

 

 

 

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 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.

No, it should not be a problem.  If you entered the correct address on your tax return, that is where the refund will go. 

 

  • You did receive the state refund. That's an indication that you did it correctly.
  • The IRS often takes longer to process your return.
  • The IRS has stated that the typical time to process a tax return is 21 days, but there may be delays for many reasons.
  • TurboTax can only project the time to get your refund.  The IRS has the real control.

 

You can check the status of your tax return.  You will need:

  • Social Security Number.
  • Tax return year.
  • Hilling Status.
  • Exact refund amount
