Question

How do I know when I'm getting my federal return if it's being mailed to me even though I e-filed?

If you e-filed your tax return and are expecting your refund by mail, the 21 day timeline still applies. Now if you prepared your return in Turbo Tax but chose the file by mail option and are subsequently expecting a refund via paper check, then that timeframe is roughly 6-8 weeks; the following link provides details: Refunds - how long should they take?
