I am just curious how accurate is the estimated federal refund date is? Says mine estimated date was 2/7/18 and it is now 2/9. Is that normal? Has anyone received their refund? Do I fall under that category of not getting it until later in Feb?

Your return was accepted less than 21 days ago so it can take anywhere from a few days to 3 weeks to go from acceptance to approval. The date given to you by TurboTax is just an estimate date. There is no way of knowing exactly when the IRS will release your refund except by tracking your refund on the IRS website.
You can track your Federal refund by visit the Where’s My Federal Refund? site here: https://www.irs.gov/refunds
You can begin checking at least 24 hours after e-filing or 4 weeks after mailing. Updates are made daily, usually overnight. You may also download the IRS2Go app to check your Federal refund status.
The IRS expects to issue most refunds in less than 21 days, though IRS will hold refunds for EITC and ACTC-related tax returns filed early in 2017 until Feb. 15 and then begin issuing them.
