Once you successfully file your tax return using the TurboTax software, the IRS and/or your state handle the processing of your returns and approval of your refund. Only they can update your status. They do not provide any updates to TurboTax after they have accepted your return. The IRS states that it may take up to 9 weeks to process it once you have verified your identity. You can find that information here Understanding Your 4883c Letter

You will have to continue to check the status on the IRS's Where's My Refund site. They should update status there once they are done with processing your return. 

If after 9 weeks you don't hear anything, you will call them at the IRS tax refund hotline at 800-829-4477, Monday - Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Or, call the 24-hour ­assistance number at 800-829-1040.

I filed 2/19, got accepted 2/20. Recvd letter to verify 3/9 didn't call until 3/12. Verified everything correctly they told me to wait 9 weeks before anything changes. Checked WMR that following Saturday 3/17 and my bars had returned, my refund was approved and I had a DDD of 3/21. Overall the process didn't take long and the verification process on the phone was very simple and easy only took me about 15 minutes.
