How did you choose to get your Federal refund--by direct deposit or check?
If you efiled, 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 that showed it was accepted, you can use the tool at the IRS website below to monitor the status of your Federal refund.
https://www.irs.gov/Refunds
NOTE: When using that tool, 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 21a.
If the IRS tool says it is still being processed, and if it's been longer than 21 days since an efiled return was accepted, we can tell you how to speak to a live agent at the IRS to see if they can tell you anything about the delay.
If the WMR says the refund has been sent, then we can tell you some things to check on. In that case, we also need to know if you had any TurboTax fees that you chose to pay out of the Federal refund. If you paid any fees out of your Federal refund, your funds go first to an intermediary bank where the fees are subtracted before going to your bank in a second direct deposit. If you used that service, we can tell you how to check on it at the level of the intermediary companyu, but you need to first see what is showing at the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool.
