After filing your taxes with TurboTax, checking your refund status is a simple process. TurboTax allows you to track your e-file status directly in your account, where you can confirm if the IRS has accepted your return. Once accepted, you can use the IRS "Where's My Refund?" tool or the IRS2Go mobile app for real-time updates on your refund. To use these tools, you'll need your Social Security number, filing status, and the exact refund amount. Typically, refunds are processed within 21 days of IRS acceptance for e-filed returns. If delays occur, such as due to errors or additional reviews, the IRS tracker will provide updated information daily.
