For some taxpayers, PATH Act requirements and other identity-protection safeguards implemented by the IRS may account for longer wait times. (EIC or Additional Child Tax Credit)
Other things that can delay your refund include but are not limited to:
Also, if you chose direct deposit, your financial institution may need another day or two to post the refund to your account, so keep that in mind.

Once the IRS accepts your return for processing then Turbo Tax is done with their part. There is nothing Turbo Tax can do now. The IRS doesn't update Turbo Tax on your Refund. It's only up to the IRS. You have to wait for the IRS.
