What does accessed mean?

[SusanY1]

TurboTax is letting you know that someone (you, in this case) signed into your TurboTax account.  This message is sent to you on the off-chance that your account was accessed without your knowledge.  This most often occurs when you login using a different device or computer than you used the last time you logged in.

This is a safeguard that is built into TurboTax. 

If you "ACCESS" your tax return from a location that TurboTax doesn't know you will get a message or Email stating that this happened and that you should contact us if it wasn't you.

When will my refund come

[EbonyL122824]

Once the IRS begins processing your tax return, on or after opening day of January 27th, you should receive your refund within 21 days of acceptance. After January 27th, you can begin tracking your refund.

To track your Federal refund, visit the Where’s My Federal Refund? site here: https://www.irs.gov/refunds

Updates are made daily, usually overnight. You may also download the IRS2Go app to check your Federal refund status.

 You can track the status of your state return by following the directions in the following TurboTax FAQ.

When will I receive my refund 

[SusanY1]

Most taxpayers receive their refunds within 21 days of filing their return if they have elected direct deposit.  Taxpayers who have requested a check usually have their check mailed within four weeks. 

If your refund contains the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit, federal law requires that your refund cannot be processed until the middle of February.  

You can check the status of your refund at this link, 48 hours after your return has been accepted by the IRS: Where's My Refund?

@Bbjw54 did you have an additional question?

[leomejia88]

Hello , I filled my taxes on 2/2 and my return still pending. is more that 48 hours . in addition, i got an email that my return was accessed. Is something to do with this situation ? is pending because was accessed. I open my return several times to check the status, I accessed my own return.

[KarenM90]

The average time frame for returns to be accepted or rejected is 24-48 hours.  

It's not unusual for it to a bit longer than that so I wouldn't be concerned at this point.

The TurboTax system automatically sends emails when an account is logged into, or when a return is opened. If you logged into your TurboTax account and opened your return, then you accessed the information.

So how do I fix it

[JamesG1]

Have you reviewed the information in your account? 

Do you believe that someone else logged into your account and made changes?

Would you please clarify where you saw this, was it an email from TurboTax or on Where's My Refund?
