That is not uncommon. First, go here https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/ and check to see what your status shows there. If you see pending there, e-filed returns generally sit in Pending status for 24-48 hours before coming back as either Accepted or Rejected

If you e-filed your return in January, it'll stay in Pending status until the IRS starts processing the backlog of returns. If their backlog is large, the 24-48 hour waiting period is extended. And sometimes state returns stay in Pending for several days or even longer.

If you contact the government or try look up your refund status while your return is still pending, it will tell you "no record found." Again, this is normal; until the government starts reviewing and processing your return, they won't have any record of it.

Why is there no record of my return at Where's My Refund (WMR)?

This is normal. TurboTax updates what stage your return is in and the IRS site updates when you can expect your refund:

  • E-filing status is what stage of the process your return is in.
  • Refund status is when you can expect your refund. 

Once your tax return has been submitted, the most up to date information will come from the IRS.

It can take anywhere from a few days to 3 weeks to update. Until the IRS starts processing it on their own, you may not find a record of it or the website may say that you have put in incorrect information when tracking your federal refund. As your return moves through the system, the status of it will be updated accordingly. Continue checking the Where’s My Federal Refund?  tool for updates.
