If you e-filed, make sure the return was e-filed successfully and accepted. To find out this information see the information below:

If accepted, you should be able to track your return by the below information:
http://www.irs.gov/Refunds  

You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section.  In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large Orange button labeled "Transmit my returns now".  

After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

The IRS requires your AGI for identity verification.

Please review the following TurboTax FAQ on locating your previous year's AGI:
