I have the same problem. I filed on the 27th of Jan. and it said I would receive it on the 16th of Feb. into my account. It is now the 19th and nothing still even though it seems to say It has been sent to my account.
We don't know for sure what all the "its" are.
"it said..."
What said??? If you are referring to what was showing in TurboTax, that's an estimate based on averages. So I'm suspicious that the first date you mentioned is the estimate that TurboTax gave you and not the IRS, unless you explain otherwise. Go only by any date that the IRS gives you.
"it seems to say..."
What "seems to say"??? And why does it only "seem" rather than stating outright? Does the IRS say that your funds have been released and sent to your account?
What is showing when you use this IRS "Where's My Refund" tool? Does it say the funds were sent, or does it say something else?

If the IRS indeed says the funds have been sent, then the IRS says to allow up to 5 days due to variations in bank processing procedures and times. But it doesn't always take that long.
However, there could be another link in the chain. Did you use Free Edition, or did you have any fees?
Did you have any TurboTax fees that you chose to pay out of the Federal refund? If so, the funds go first from the IRS to a temporary account at an intermediary bank where the fees are subtracted. Then that intermediary bank sends the rest of the funds on to your bank (or card.) If you used that method to pay fees, and if the IRS has actually released the funds, we can tell you how to check on the funds at the level of the intermediary company (SBTPG) where you can log in to check on it or use their automated phone system. If you did not use that method to pay fees, then this paragraph won't apply to you.
