First until the return is processed the ADVANCE CTC will not be issued so did you successfully efile ?
How did you file--did you efile, or did you choose to print and mail the return? If you filed by mail, then hopefully you physically printed and mailed it to the IRS; TurboTax does not mail it for you.
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 the info at the Tax Home confirms it was accepted (or if you mailed the return), you can use the "Where's My Refund" tool at the IRS website below to check on the status of your Federal refund.

NOTE: When using that tool, be sure to enter the correct SSN and filing status. 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 35a.
