As per @DoninGA above, once you receive confirmation that your federal return has been accepted, you'll be able to start tracking your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site.
Accepted means your tax return was received and has passed initial inspection, such as correct Social Security number and correctly claimed dependents.
It can take anywhere from a few days to three weeks for your return to go from acceptance to approval.
To check your e-file status, sign in to TurboTax, and go to Tax Home (if you're not already there). If you've submitted your return, you'll see a pending, rejected, or accepted status. Click here for more details.
The IRS can only help you after more than 21 calendar days have passed.
You can also call the IRS. Make sure to have your return ready when you call for verification purposes. The IRS refund information number is 800-829-1954.
