I have not gotten State or Federal
First, you need to be sure the Federal and state returns were successfully filed. Occasionally someone doesn't go all the way to the end to transmit the returns, or in some cases the efile is rejected. It depends on how you chose to file the return.
If you filed a paper return by mail, TurboTax does not mail it for you. If you chose that method, you would have had to print it, sign it, date it, and mail it yourself. It takes at least 4 weeks for a mailed return to show up in the IRS WMR tool.
If you efiled, double-check to be sure the returns were efiled successfully and accepted. If you used Online TurboTax, you can sign into your Online Account and check the efile status at the Tax Home. Which of the following terms is used there for the status of the Federal and state returns: accepted, rejected, printed, started, ready to mail, or something else?
If that showed it was accepted, (or if you mailed a paper return), you can use the "Where's My Refund" tool at the IRS website below to monitor the status of your Federal refund. Is there any message there?

When using that IRS tool, here are some tips:
- Be sure you enter the correct tax year, SSN, and filing status.
- Be sure you are using only the Federal refund amount. Do not include any state refund or any total refund or net refund (Fed and State) that TurboTax may have provided on a summary screen.
- Look at your actual Federal return to get the Federal refund amount to use in the tool, i.e., your Form 1040, Line 35a.
As for the state return, if at the Tax Home it shows as accepted, or if you mailed the state return, this FAQ will tell you how to check on it. Choose your state from the table in this FAQ:
