Did you efile, or did you choose to print and mail the return?  If you filed by mail, it can take about 6 weeks to get a Federal refund.


If you efiled, first double-check to be sure the return was efiled successfully and accepted.
If you used Online TurboTax, log into your Online Account and check the efile status at the Tax Home.


If the Tax Home shows it was accepted, you can use the "Where's My Refund" tool at the IRS website below to monitor the status of your Federal refund.  
https://www.irs.gov/Refunds


NOTE: When using that tool, use only the Federal refund amount, and not any total refund amount that includes a state refund.
The amount to use is on your Federal Form 1040, Line 21a.
