The IRS states the you should receive your refund in 21 days from the date the return is accepted by the IRS.

There are a few ways you can track your tax return.

• If you filed your tax return through TurboTax, you can view the status of your tax return by going to this site: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/wheres-my-refund/
• You may also track the status of your return by visiting: https://www.irs.gov/refunds
• There is also an app: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs2goapp

You are posting in multiple threads, which becomes confusing.  Please stick with one thread.

Ok, so all my information is confirmed then. All these unimportant questions at the end of filing are making me really upset. I just want to know if I filed correctly, and I dont have to worry about it anymore.  Please help me.

When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

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

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here? 

https://www.irs.gov/refunds          

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.

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 20 of your Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:   

https://www.irs.gov/refunds

To track your state refund:

On the IRS site you are also offered the use of an app called IRS2Go

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.
