The date Turbo Tax gives you is just an estimate.  They tell everyone 21 days.  Only the IRS can tell you.  Only thing you can do is just keep waiting.  At least you know the IRS got your return.

All you can do is keep checking.

either wait or call the IRS to find out why the delay.

  1. Call 1-800-829-1040 between the hours of 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM local time.
  2. Press “1” for English or “2” for Spanish.
  3. Press “2” for “answers about your personal income taxes.”
  4. Press “1” for “questions about a form you have already submitted or a payment or to order a tax transcript.”
  5. Press “3” for “all other questions about your tax history or payment.”
  6. Press “2” for “all other questions about your tax history or payment.”
  7. Do not input your Social Security Number when the recording tells you to.
  8. Press “2” for “personal- or individual-tax related question.”
  9. Press “3” for “all other inquiries.”
  10. Wait to be connected to someone at the IRS.

Mine took 11 weeks to get processed. There were no errors on my part, it was an internal IRS delay.
