No legitimate business, government, public utility or any other company will ever ask you to pay them with gift cards.

Your question in your other thread was already answered.  Neither the IRS nor TurboTax tells you to purchase a Google card. Someone is trying to scam you.  Do not be suckered into it.

TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 20a of your Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

On the IRS site you are also offered the use of an app called IRS2Go

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.
