When will I get my tax refund?

IRS Refund Processing Delays

The IRS is currently experiencing tax refund processing delays (up to one week) for some returns. This affects returns prepared through any tax preparation method, including TurboTax.

As a result, the original estimated federal tax refund date provided to you may have changed. We are working with IRS to resolve this as quickly as possible.

For the most up-to-date information about your federal tax refund, go to the IRS Get Refund Status tool. Make sure you wait 72 hours after your return is accepted to check your refund status. How to find out if your return was accepted.

Note: State tax refunds are not affected by the IRS delay.

January 26, 2012 – The IRS has provided an update to the tax preparation industry on the status of federal tax refunds. Click here to read the update.
