Yes millions are waiting months.  Turbo Tax only gives you an estimated date. The IRS usually pays most refunds within 21 days. But these are not normal times. This year is taking the IRS longer to send the refunds. There are millions more people filing returns to get the Stimulus payment.

the delays have not only affected Turbotax users but also taxpayers that used other software and even those that paid professionals to do their returns.
