The link from @Anonymous_ explains that it typically takes 21 days or less for your refund to be released by the IRS but it's possible your return may require additional review and take longer to process. Where’s My Refund? has the most up to date information available about your refund. The tool is updated daily (usually overnight) so you will just usually need to check once a day.
For more on the timing of your refund please see this TurboTax FAQ.
Please see these TurboTax FAQ's on why some tax return refunds may take a while to be released and what steps you can take:
If you are concerned and it's been over 21 days since your tax return was accepted by the IRS and you decide to call the IRS here are some tips when you call them at 1-800-829-1040 (expect long hold times and you may not be able to reach anyone on your first try, you will need to call back if that happens at a later time):
- First choose your language.
- Then do not choose the first choice regarding REFUND, or it will send you to an automated phone line.
- Instead, press 2 for personal income tax questions.
- Then press 1 for form, tax history, or payment.
- Then press 3 for all other questions.
- Then press 2 for all other questions to be transferred to an agent
