Get your taxes done using TurboTax

What is the time span by which the IRS should communicate something regarding my tax refund?  Their website and auto-mated phone service only tells me that they can't provide me any info, which is enormously frustrating, especially as I did my taxes back on Feb 8th and should've received my refund last week.  

 

I mistakenly had checked that I was a dependent last year, which I still don't know how that happened, and it resulted in my not receiving stimulus payments.  This year I made it a point to make sure this box was not checked, and it appears that this is likely causing these delays.

 

Also, when they ask for my refund amount, I assume I'm providing them with what is on my tax return and not the actual money I'm to receive minus what I owe in state, yes?
