Why haven't I received my refund
I can tell from your other thread that your return must have been delayed at the IRS for some time.
If you chose to pay fees out of your Federal refund, and it has been delayed at the IRS longer than 36 days after your expected refund date, TurboTax will send you a bill for the fee payment. If not paid, they will ultimately debit your bank account.
Only the IRS will know what all they are doing with your return. But
we can tell you some things to check and how to contact them if
necessary. I'll also tell you lower down how to contact the Taxpayer Advocate Service in case you have any problems getting info or results from the IRS.
What do you
see at the IRS website below for the status of your Federal refund?

If
that IRS "Where's My Refund" tool says your return is still "being
processed", since it's been longer than 21 days, here's how to phone the
IRS to speak to someone to see if they can tell you why it is delayed.
IRS: 800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri
Listen to each menu before making the selection.
First choose your language. Press 1 for English.
- Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
- Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".
- Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
- Then press 3 "for all other questions."
- Then press 2 "for all other questions." It should then transfer you to an agent, but there is likely to be a long wait.
At the following IRS website, find the USA map and click on your state, and it will give you the number of your IRS Taxpayer Advocate.
