Your tax return is the form you send to the IRS that shows your income and calculates your tax. The money the IRS sends back to you is your refund. You don't get your return. The IRS gets your return. You get your refund.
Let's be clear, and blunt. There is no such thing as "on time" or "supposed to get" for tax refunds. The estimated date that TurboTax gives you is just an average. It's not based on specific information about your tax return, and it doesn't mean that you will get your refund by that date.
Once the IRS has accepted your tax return for processing, TurboTax is out of the picture. It's entirely in the hands of the IRS, and there is nothing TurboTax can do. There are many variables that can affect how long it takes to process your tax return and issue your refund. Go to the following link on the IRS web site for more information about the factors that can affect when you get your refund.
