My tax return has been sent but I haven't received my money via direct deposit. Why? When will I receive it.

If you efiled your tax return and chose direct deposit, the IRS indicates that the processing time is generally within 21 days.

There are different situations that can affect the timing of your refund. Please refer to the following FAQ for additional clarification.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3302330.

If "where's my refund?" is showing a direct deposit date, then it will take up to 5 days after that date for your bank to process that deposit. If it is past the 5 day time frame and you still dont have a deposit, it is possible that you might have transposed a number on your bank account and routing information that you entered in to Turbo Tax. If this is the case, then the IRS will mail you a check after they have made 3 attempts make the direct deposit.

Please refer to the following Turbo Tax article for additional information on checking the status of your refund. http://blog.turbotax.intuit.com/tax-refunds/wheres-my-tax-refund-how-to-check-your-refund-status-188...
