I field my refund on February 6 2020, it’s now the 20th. I can’t seem to see my status none of that is available and I’m freaking out as to why I am not able to get any information on my return status. I’m currently on maternity leave no pay n the refund was really going to help me out with bills and my newborn. What should I do? I did file with turbo.

    Did you e-file or mail your return?  If you e-filed, check the status of your return. 

     

    Here's help for checking your e-file status:

    In TurboTax if you don't see Pending or Accepted as the status, you may not have completed the e-file and you need to Transmit your return.

     

     

    Most Federal REFUNDS are issued within 21 business days of the return being accepted by the IRS (this is not based on when you filed).   Please keep in mind that once you e-file or mail your return only the IRS has any control over it.  The IRS will notify TurboTax when your return is accepted, there are no more updates given for the next 2 stages of Processing and Approval.   You have to go to Where's my Refund to get any further information.

     

    Here is help for tracking your Federal Refund:

     If you qualified for the Earned income credit or Additional Child Tax Credit here is more information about the PATH Act delay, but keep in mind that the IRS site for Where's my refund, https://www.irs.gov/refunds  is the final authority.

    While most refunds are issued within 21 days, sometimes there can be delays. 

    Please see the following information about contacting the IRS if it has been more than 21 days:
