Was your return Accepted? First double check your efile status here
https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

When you efile you get back 2 emails. The first email only confirms the transmission. The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.

Then only the IRS can tell you. IRS Where's my refund https://www.irs.gov/refunds/
Make sure you are using the refund amount from your actual federal tax return and not the combined amount Turbo Tax showed you at the end. That was for federal and state combined.

When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc.  what does it say?

when did you file and how did you file.    e file federal can take about 3 weeks,  much longer if mailed.   some states are slow in making refunds.  their site might also let you check refund status.

 

for the federal you cam also go to IRS website and review a transcript of the return if its been about 4 weeks since efiling or 6 weeks if mailed.  if there is no transcript, the IRS never got it.
