    The dates on the TurboTax Tax Home website are only estimates based on the IRS target.

     

    The IRS target is 21 days from the tax return being Accepted to issue a tax refund.  It is NOT a Guarantee

               

    Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.

                        

    To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product.
    If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds


    If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899433-how-do-i-track-my-state-refund

     

    Due to the pandemic and the stimulus payments being handled by the IRS, the IRS has delayed the processing of many tax returns.

    See this IRS website for information - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-operations-during-covid-19-mission-critical-functions-continue

     

    Once the IRS reopens their phone lines and the IRS employees are back on the job, then use this procedure to inquire about your federal tax refund -

    Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
    When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
    So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
    Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
    Then press 3 "for all other questions."
    Then press 2 "for all other questions."
    - When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
    - After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

    Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
    Then press 4 for all other inquiries
    It should then transfer you to an agent.
