Check these things first before calling the IRS.

Log into your TurboTax Online account or open your TurboTax Desktop program to check your status. 

If that showed it was accepted, what do you see at the IRS website below for the status of your Federal refund?  Click the blue button "Check My Refund Status."
http://www.irs.gov/Refunds

If that IRS WMR tool shows your Federal return has been processing longer than 21 days, you can phone the IRS to see if you can learn anything about the delay.

IRS:  800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri

Listen to each menu before making the selection.
 
First choose your language. Press 1 for English.

  • Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
  • Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".
  • Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  
  • Then press 3 "for all other questions."
  • Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent, but there is likely to be a long wait.

I usually use a speakerphone so I can work on something else while waiting.

I put in wrong direct deposit information

@user7177360612   Have you already filed?  Was it by efile, and if so, has the efile been accepted?   If accepted, in most cases, it is too late to make changes.   But the following FAQ says you can try phoning the IRS to stop the deposit attempt "if your return hasn't posted to their system yet."  So you can try that, if you wish, but you should do it right away.  If you reach them in time, you won't be able to correct it, but they would send you a paper check instead.   Otherwise, the deposit should bounce back to the IRS, who will issue you a check in the mail to the address on the return.    See the following FAQ:
