Once you have e-filed your tax return, there are a few ways to check the status of your refund:

The tool will get you personalized refund information based on the processing of your tax return. They will provide an actual refund date as soon as the IRS processes your tax return and approves your refund. Most refunds will be issued in less than 21 days. You can start checking the status of your refund within 24 hours after you have e-filed your return.

TurboTax is a Tax preparation tool, so once you prepare and submit your return to IRS, TurboTax is no longer involved.  TurboTax does not issue refunds or know when they are issued.  IRS does not update TurboTax about their processing of your returns. 

 

The IRS issued more than 9 out of 10 refunds to taxpayers in less than 21 days last year. The same results are expected for 2021.

 

You can use the IRS Where’s My Refund? tool (fastest option) or IRS2Go mobile app

Please see the links below for more information on when you will receive your refund:
