TurboTax not working

TurboTax 2021 is not working like it has in years past. It is not able to load my history or download my W-2 info. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?

Try the following steps to see if this will clear any lag:

 

  • Log completely out of Turbo Tax. 
  • Then, clear your cache and cookies within your browser and completely close out of it.  I have included the Help Articles below if you need assistance with clearing cache or cookies. 
  • Re-open the browser and log back into Turbo Tax and see if this fixes the situation.  
    • You can also try a different browser as well, or "incognito mode".  

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, please reach back out here in the thread and someone will follow up with the next steps.

I am using the download version of TurboTax 2021, so the issues I am seeing are not browser or cache related.

Are they seemingly delayed as far as being sent to your email? or are you receiving them upon request however they are expiring quickly? in the interim you may review this resource @Brighton1959.

Why TurboTax not working .

Where is my tax return refund

@Jesus112 What is "not working?"   What are you trying to do?   You asked where your refund is.   If you already filed your return what are you now trying to do in the tax software?   TurboTax does not get any information after your return has been filed.

 

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

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

 

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:

To track your state 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.

Tried all that several times!  Results are same!  Even paid for online upgrade to TurboTax Premier and still could not access brokerage account, etc.
