your refund.
TurboTax Refund Tracker is a feature that allows you to monitor the status of your tax refund from the moment you file your return until the refund is deposited in your bank account. It provides real-time updates and notifications, so you always know where your refund is in the process.
Once you receive confirmation that your federal return has been accepted, you'll be able to start tracking your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site.
Received: The IRS has received your return.
Processing: Your return is being processed.
Approved: Your refund has been approved.
Mailed: Your refund check has been mailed.
Direct Deposit: Your refund has been directly deposited.
First, complete and file your tax return using TurboTax. Ensure all your information is accurate to prevent any delays.
Once your return is filed, access the TurboTax Refund Tracker through your TurboTax account dashboard.
Check the Refund Tracker regularly to see updates on the status of your refund. You’ll see when your return is received, processed, and when your refund is approved and sent.
Enable email or SMS notifications to receive updates on your refund status. This way, you don’t have to keep checking the dashboard manually.
