After you file
You did not mention how long ago you filed that 2019 return by mail. That is an important piece of information. The IRS is very backlogged and it is taking them a very long time to process mailed returns. Did you use any sort of mailing service with tracking so you know it was received--like certified mail, UPS, etc.?
Was the IRS refund site saying that your return was being processed? In that case, only the IRS can tell you what happened. TurboTax cannot find out. No information is shared with TT after you file.
To call the IRS:IRS: 800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri
