Why do you think you used the wrong banking information?   What happened?   Or are you just frustrated because you did not get your federal refund yet?

 

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities,  There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals.

 

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

 

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2021 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

@fugu603231 you would have to contact your state department of revenue and based on its response, you might have to contact you Bank.   No one at Turbo Tax or this forum is going to know.
