The IRS is not going to email you--ever. Ask the preparer for some sort of electronic postmark to prove she filed it. She should also provide you with a copy of your return. If you are getting a refund you should be able to track your refund on the IRS site once they put it into the system (which could take awhile since they are backlogged). If you are getting a refund there is no penalty for filing late anyway. If you owe tax due and the return is not filed timely, you might get a bill for interest or a late filing penalty. What did you do to pay your tax due--if you owe? If you owe, then nothing will show up on the IRS refund site. That site only shows information for returns when you are getting a refund.
Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.
You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 35a of your 2020 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:
