I just noticed one of the years you typed in your question above is wrong, but I'm not certain which one.   This answer assumes you are talking about a current 2019 return accepted on April 12, 2020.  If you are asking about a 2018 return accepted on April 12, 2019, then the answer would be different.

*************************

The IRS says 9 out of 10 filers who efile and choose direct deposit will get their Federal refunds within 21 days after being accepted. Some returns are processed fairly quickly, while others require additional processing due to specific items in the return. Some are pulled at random for more thorough investigation.

Did you efile, or did you choose to print and mail the return?  If you filed a paper return by mail, even in "normal times" it can take about 6 weeks to get a Federal refund.  But with the Coronavirus emergency, however, paper returns are currently not being processed for the time being.

If you efiled, you should double-check to be sure the return was efiled successfully and accepted.
If you used Online TurboTax, you can sign into your Online Account and check the efile status at the Tax Home.

If that showed it was accepted, you can use the "Where's My Refund" tool at the IRS website below to monitor the status of your Federal refund.  
https://www.irs.gov/Refunds

NOTE: When using that tool, use only the Federal refund amount, and not any total refund amount that includes a state refund.
The amount to use is on your Federal Form 1040, Line 21a.

OOPS?  I just noticed something incorrect and confusing in your question that needs clarification.

You wrote:  "When should I expect my 2019 refund? It was accepted on April 12, 2019."

One of those years is wrong.   Are you asking about a 2018 return that was accepted on April 12, 2019?  Or are you asking about a 2019 return that was accepted on April 12, 2020?

My answer above was for a current 2019 return accepted on April 12, 2020.
