The date for the tax refund to be received and reported by TurboTax is only an estimate.

 

Go to the IRS website for the actual status of a federal tax refund - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

 

After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.
See this IRS website for federal tax refund FAQ's - https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions

When i put in all my information like tax year, filing status, SSN and tax amount it says the tax amount is incorrect, and I don’t know where to find the correct amount.

The refund amount on a federal tax return is on the Form 1040 Line 35a.

The IRS refund site does not track your state refund.

 

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities,  There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals.  Some states process returns quickly and some are very slow.

 

STATE RETURN

Make sure your state return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

Turbo Tax just give an estimated date for Federal IRS, but you have 0 federal refund.  Did you look up your state refund  here?
