An efiled return normally takes up to 21 days for most people, but it's not uncommon for it to be further delayed if the IRS has to review anything or needs more info. Sometimes they will prepare a notice/letter to mail.
If you filed by printing and mailing, it can take several weeks to process.
Here are some things you should check:
If you efiled, double-check to be sure the return was 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. If you used desktop software, you can check from within the software.
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.
