If you efiled, double-check with this tool to be sure the return was efiled successfully and accepted:
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://shop.turbotax.intuit.com/efile/efile_status_lookup.jsp">https://shop.turbotax.intuit.com/efi...>

If that showed it was accepted (or if you mailed the return), what do you see at the IRS website below for the status of your Federal refund?
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/Refunds">https://www.irs.gov/Refunds</a>

If that IRS tool shows that the refund has been sent, but you didn't receive it, report back for more info.  

If the IRS tool says it is still "being processed", and if it's been longer than 21 days, we can tell you how to speak to a live agent at the IRS to see if they can tell you anything about the delay, and how to invoke the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service, if necessary.

i'm  seeing many inquiries from taxpayers who filed early.   the IRS wasn't really ready.  it may be that the IRS was so messed up at the time you filed, that your return along with others that filed early have to be manually processed to make sure that the results reflected on the returns are correct.   considering how many people filed early and how few people the IRS has to manually process these returns,  I can understand the delay.   you should call
