TurboTax never knows if you put your return in an envelope and mailed it. The IRS is taking a very long time to process mailed returns, so it is possible that they have not even opened your envelope yet. All you can do is wait for them to open it, enter it into the system and then they will start to show it on the IRS refund site.

When the IRS opens its mail and begins to process mailed returns you can check the status on the IRS site. https://www.irs.gov/refunds

If you are wondering if you should send your return again——the IRS does not want you to file a second time. Putting two tax returns into the system at the same time can lead to confusion and even more delays. If you did not use tracking and do not know if the return was received—-you have to make your own judgment call and decide if you want to risk further delay by sending the return again.
TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.
