After you file
You didn't say whether you efiled your return or printed and mailed it. If efiled, you should have received an email from TurboTax saying whether it was accepted or rejected. Did you get that email? You can verify submission and acceptance or rejection using this link: https://shop.turbotax.intuit.com/efile/efile_status_lookup.jsp
If it was accepted, the IRS tracking web site should say that it is processing or further along in the process. Make sure you are entering only your federal refund amount and not the combined federal and state refunds when logging into the IRS site.
If you printed and mailed your return, the IRS is taking much longer to process those. You must print and mail the return yourself. TurboTax does not print and mail it for you. You won't be able to track the progress at the IRS until they open your return and start processing it. There are still millions of return sitting in stacks at regional centers unopened.
