Do you get you state refund first or federal

Your state has a separate refund timing for tax refunds apart from federal. You can track your state tax return in the article below. 

How do I track my state refund?

The best way to track your federal refund is through the IRS website Where's My Refund?.     

Please see below.

It can happen either way. 

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities.  You cannot expect them to arrive at the same time.

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 20 of your Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:
