You are only seeing estimates on the TurboTax website.
Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.
Your tax returns will remain Pending until the IRS starts receiving tax returns. It may be several days after the IRS start date before your tax return gets accepted or rejected.
Go to this IRS website for the official start date - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-opens-2020-filing-season-for-individual-filers-on-jan-27
If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds
See this IRS website for federal tax refund FAQ's - https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions
