Did you e-file?  Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”

When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here?  

https://www.irs.gov/refunds         

  Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?”

Note:  If it says “Ready to Mail” or “Printed” that means YOU have to mail it yourself.  TurboTax does not mail your tax return for you.

xmasbaby0 is correct about how to check that the tax return has been filed. If you have not received your refund yet, there may be some other reason since the IRS shows that it has been filed.

For more information, see: My return is accepted but still not approved. Is there a problem? Should I be worried?

Please be careful. Do not provide any information to an email, phone call, or text pretending to be the IRS. 

TurboTax would have told you if your return was rejected.
