Did you efile or mail your return? They just started processing mailed returns that have been stacking up. See this IRS page for the latest information

If you efiled....Was your return Accepted? First double check your efile status here

When you efile you get back 2 emails. The first email only confirms the transmission. The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.

Then only the IRS can tell you. IRS Where's my refund https://www.irs.gov/refunds/
Make sure you are using the refund amount from your actual federal tax return and not the combined amount Turbo Tax showed you at the end. That was for federal and state combined.

When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc.  what does it say?

When will you get your refund,

Was your e-filed tax return ever accepted by the IRS?  You would have received an email from TurboTax notifying you that your return was accepted.  You can check the "status" of your e-filed return by using the instructions below.  If your return was never officially accepted by the IRS, you need to go ahead and file it ASAP.  A rejected return is the same as if it was never filed at all.

 

How do I check my e-file status? 

 

If your return WAS accepted, you can check the status of your refund by visiting the IRS webpage linked below.
