I got an email saying my tax return was done and I’m getting a refund. Is that a generic message

If you have filed your tax return through TurboTax you will receive emails regarding the status of your return.

 

You will initially receive an email stating that your return has been submitted. ‌

 

You will receive a second email that will let you know that your Federal Return was accepted or rejected

 

 You will receive a third email, if you e-filed your state return as well, letting you know if your state return was accepted or rejected.

 

 

If you are using TurboTax Online you can see the status of your return by clicking on "Tax Home" in the left side of your screen.

 

If you used TurboTax Desktop, you will select the "File" tab in the (gray) bar across your screen and then select "Check E-File Status"

 

 

You can also use TurboTax's Where's My Refund tracking tool to help you find the status of your refund.

 

 

After you are informed your federal return has been accepted, you can start tracking your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site.
