You are always going to find someone else whose refund arrived faster, and someone who waited even longer than you. That is the way it goes. Returns are not processed “first in — first out.”
TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.
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 20 of your Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

Thank you. It’s just he did his taxes 3 wks after me and his turbo has an expected date and mine doesn’t and that’s what I’m confused why mine doesn’t have an estimated time. I’m going to rely on irs.gov but I just don’t know why I don’t have an expected date just the accepted date and it’s been almost a month since I filed.
