Generally, the IRS releases most tax refunds within 21 days of the return being accepted. On occassion, it takes longer than 21 days, and when that happens you should contact the IRS and speak to a tax representative there and see if they can tell you what they are showing in their system.

Make sure you are using the refund amount from your actual federal tax return and not the combined amount Turbo Tax showed you at the end.  That was for federal and state combined.
