It can take 21 days or more in some cases, for the IRS to process your return once it has been accepted, as this FAQ explains: https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/3244564. Use this link to verify that your return has been accepted: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

Only the IRS can tell you  accurately when you can expect your refund. TurboTax only gives you an estimate of that date.

Once your return has been accepted,

  •  Go to Where's My Refund? to check the status of your refund. The IRS updates the status page every 24 hours, usually at night so there is no reason to check more than once a day.

  • Once your refund is approved by the IRS (this can sometimes take several days), your refund status on Where's My Refund? will show approved and you will be given a date of when your refund is scheduled to be sent to your bank. It may take a couple of days after that for your bank to post your refund to your account. 

  • Use the links in the TurboTax FAQ below for more details and to track both your Federal Tax Refund and your State refund.
