Hello, I filed my taxes a few weeks ago but I'm not sure where or when it's being sent to. I filed it without using direct deposit. How do I find out where its being sent?

    If you did not select direct deposit the IRS will mail you the refund check to the address entered on your tax return.

     

    To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

    Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

    Use this TurboTax website to check the status of an e-filed return and if it was either accepted or rejected - https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/
    If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

     

    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.

     

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

     

    After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.
