It varies. The IRS says 9 out of 10 filers who efile and choose direct deposit will get their Federal refunds within 21 days after being accepted. Some returns are processed fairly quickly, while others require additional processing due to specific items in the return. Some are pulled at random for more thorough investigation.

This IRS FAQ gives some situations where it might take longer than 21 days:

Here are some things you should check:

If you efiled, double-check to be sure the returns were 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 "Where's My Refund" tool at the IRS website below to monitor the status of your Federal refund. Wait until at least 24 hours after acceptance before using the tool.
https://www.irs.gov/Refunds

NOTE:

When using that tool, be sure to enter the correct SSN and filing status.
For the refund amount, use only the Federal refund amount, and not any total refund amount that includes a state refund.
If you chose to pay TurboTax fees out of your Federal refund, then be sure to use the Federal refund amount before any fees were taken out.
The amount to use is on your Federal Form 1040, Line 35a.
You can also try phoning the IRS refund hotline. I've seen it work for some users when the WMR tool didn't. 800-829-1954

Oops! As soon as I sent my answer above, I saw your statement underneath your question that said you had filed on February 12. So I've revised the first part of my answer above. At first I wasn't sure if by "my taxes" you were referring to a tax refund or to a tax return being reviewed by your CPA/EA expert as part of your Live Basic package. So I've removed that paragraph, since I now see you have already filed and therefore must be asking about a tax refund. Sorry for any confusion I caused. ☹️
