My refund was accepted February 10th. I have not received my refund and the refund tracker has not updated since it was "accepted". What happened?

I am receiving the eitc, but should have still received my refund by now. I opted in to the 5 days early through TurboTax and am using credit karma direct deposit which I utilized last year without any issues.

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing of your return or the release of your refund.

Here are a couple FAQs to track your refund:
When will I get my federal tax refund?
How do I track my state refund?
Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"?

Why do some refunds take longer than others?

What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?
