My E file was accepted by the IRS on 4-11-21 now when I access my records on the IRS website the return is showing as never being received. I need to re- file electronically however turbo tax will not allow me to e file again how do I get the returned filed?

If Turbo Tax shows it was Accepted then the IRS got it. The IRS website is very behind and isn't updated in time. A lot of people's returns aren't showing up. Just keep waiting.

You are not alone. Millions are still waiting. Turbo Tax only gives you an estimated date. The IRS usually pays most refunds within 21 days. But these are not normal times. This year is taking the IRS longer to send the refunds. There are millions more people filing returns to get the Stimulus payment.

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 34of your 2020 Form 1040) of your originally filed federal refund (not the adjusted one) to track your Federal refund:
