I got a $100 bonus w/ credit karma and have received the cardbut have not been able to find where to access myreturn nor the extra bonus $100. How do I figure this out?

I e-filed. Shouldn't my return be accessible already?

You get your income tax refund after the IRS issues the 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 2021 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.
