Did you efile, or did you choose to print and mail the return?  If you filed a paper return by mail, even in "normal times" it can take about 6 weeks to get a Federal refund.  But with the Coronavirus emergency, however, paper returns have a long delay due to shortage of IRS personnel during the pandemic.


If you efiled, you should double-check to be sure the return was 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.

NOTE: When using that tool, use only the Federal refund amount, and not any total refund amount that includes a state refund.
The amount to use is on your Federal Form 1040, Line 21a.
