It’s been 8 months since I applied for my tax return. It shows as sent, but I haven’t received anything yet.

I requested that my taxes be sent to my home address. It shows as sent, but nothing has arrived yet.

Where are you seeing that "it shows as sent?"   Does the IRS refund site say that your refund was mailed to you?

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. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

Yes, it shows as “sent” on the IRS system, but I don’t have any tracking number or information about which company it was sent through, so I’m unable to check its status. Since I’m currently in Turkey, I also can’t reach the IRS by phone. I would really appreciate your help with this.

There is no tracking number on mail sent by the IRS.   The IRS will not make a direct deposit to a foreign bank account; they will only mail a check if you do not have a U.S. based bank account for a direct deposit.
