Does the IRS refund site show that your 2023 refund was issued?

 

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2023 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:   

https://www.irs.gov/refunds

 

 

 

 

If you chose to have your fees deducted from your federal refund:

 

Santa Barbara Tax Products Group, LLC  (SBTPG) is the bank that handles the Refund Processing Service when you choose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your refund. This option also has an additional charge from the bank that processes the transaction. 

You can contact them SBTPG, toll-free, at 1-877-908-7228 or go to their secure website www.sbtpg.com

Thank you for replying. Yes, I did contact Santa Barbara Bank. The only answer I received was that the refund had been deposited in my account. It hadn’t. They suggested I call my bank and/or the IRS , again. They showed no concern and just left me to investigate the problem on my own. To sum up, TurboTax was no help, the IRS was no help, Santa Barbara was no help , and my bank was no help

…. and, to top it off , the IRS told me the bank would not return its phone call!
