Please note that the estimated 21-day period to receive a refund is calculated from the date that the e-file is successfully submitted AND accepted by the IRS – and not necessarily from the date the customer submits their return in TurboTax

Did you choose to receive a text, an e-mail or both when you filed your return?  If yes, then you will be notified.

You can track you refund status here: Where’s My Refund?

The IRS will hold all 2017 tax returns that have a tax refund which includes EIC and/or the Additional Child Tax Credit until mid-February.  The IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or on debit cards starting on 2/27/18.  if they chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with the tax return.

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

If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/refunds">https://www.irs.gov/refunds</a>
If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899433-how-do-i-track-my-state-refund">https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899433-how-do-i-track-my-state-refund</a>
