Did you e-file?  Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”

 

 

When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

 

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here?  (Allow 24 - 48 hours after acceptance to look)

https://www.irs.gov/refunds     

 

   

  Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?” Or “Rejected?” Or “Printed?”

 

 

 

If it was accepted:

 

Sometimes people get confused by the “summary” given by TurboTax and use the wrong amount for the federal refund.  Make sure you are only using the federal refund amount, and not an amount that combined your federal and state refunds.  

 

Your federal refund amount is on line 35a of your Form 1040
