After you file

@Taka, since it has been more than 21 days, that is your call.  If you decide to contact the IRS, expect to be on hold for a very long time..If your status at Where's my Refund shows Processing or Still Processing, that means that the IRS is working on your return and you should have a refund date soon.

 

This is the process that your return is going through:

Accepted (this is the last update that TurboTax will get from the IRS): https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3958820

 

Processing, or Still Processing (the IRS does not inform TurboTax of this stage.  Keep checking Where's my Refund:( https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/4689484
