If you are filing or have filed a tax return, you can't use any other method to register for the stimulus payment. If you are not filing a tax return, you can use the non filer portal to register for the stimulus payment: https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/non-filers-enter-payment-info-here

The portal is not to be used by anyone filing a tax return.

 

If you efiled your taxes, what does this link show as the status:

https://shop.turbotax.intuit.com/efile/efile_status_lookup.jsp

 

If they were accepted, you should be able to track the status of your refund using this link:

https://www.irs.gov/refunds

 

If they were rejected, you must fix the reason for rejection and resubmit them until they are accepted.

 

If you chose to print and mail your return, you must do that yourself. TurboTax does not print and mail them for you. The IRS is currently not processing any mailed returns so you won't be able to track the status of your refund until the start processing your return.

 

See this for how the IRS works: https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions

 

The IRS will not likely schedule your stimulus payment until they have completely processed your tax return. You can track the status here: Get My Payment
