What is shown for your refund status at the IRS website with this tool?
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.irs.gov/Refunds">http://www.irs.gov/Refunds</a>

Here's how to phone the IRS:   800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri

Listen to each menu before making the selection.
 
First choose your language. Press 1 for English.

    Then do not choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
    Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".
    Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  
    Then press 3 "for all other questions."
    Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent, but there is likely to be a long wait.

I usually use a speakerphone so I can work on something else while waiting.

If your Federal return is still processing at the IRS after all this time, and you can't get good results from the IRS, phone the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service.  They can help tweak the IRS for you if you're having a financial hardship.   At the following IRS website, find the USA map and click on your state, and it will give you the number of your IRS Taxpayer Advocate.

Turbo Tax told me my refund date would be 2/20, when the IRS said 2/22, I'm going with 2/22 since today is 2/21.

TurboTax uses averages.   Go by the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool.  And it may not be instantaneous, since ACH transactions can take up to 3 days.

Also, did you have any TurboTax fees that you chose to pay out of the Federal refund?   If so, the funds will go first from the IRS to the intermediary bank where the fees are subtracted.   If you did use that service, we can tell you how to monitor the refund at the level of the intermediary company.

If you requested to have the TurboTax account fees deducted from your federal tax refund, the IRS will send the refund to a third party processor to have the fees and the service charge deducted. The third party processor will deduct the TurboTax fees plus the service charge and then attempt to direct deposit the remaining refund balance into the account that you entered on your tax return.


For the status of your tax refund you will need to contact the third party processor, Santa Barbara Tax Product Group, using their website - https://www.sbtpg.com/
