Did you efile your tax return or print and mail it?

 

You can verify that your efiled return was submitted and accepted using this link: https://shop.turbotax.intuit.com/efile/efile_status_lookup.jsp

If it was rejected, you must fix the reason for rejection and resubmit it.

If you chose to print and mail your return, you must do that yourself. TurboTax does not print and mail it for you.

 

Unfortunately TurboTax gets no information about the status of your refund.
In normal times, the IRS says that most filers get their refunds within 21 days from the time their tax return is accepted.
Many returns are taking longer now since the IRS did not process returns for a while and there is now a big backlog of unprocessed returns.
Some press reports stated the IRS has started reopening offices and processing centers and are starting to process mailed returns again after not processing any for several weeks but no IRS press release has confirmed this.
They are now taking phone calls with a limited staff but it's hard to get through.

 

If your efiled return was accepted, what does the IRS tracking web site say about the status of your refund?
https://www.irs.gov/refunds

 

If you printed and mailed your return, you won't be able to check the status until the IRS starts processing it.
