It depends. The IRS issues most refunds from e-filed returns in about 21 days, although some returns take more time to review.

You can track your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site. You'll need your Social Security number or ITIN, filing status, and the exact amount of your refund to check your status.

For some taxpayers, PATH Act requirements and other identity-protection safeguards implemented by the IRS may account for longer wait times.

Other things that can delay your refund include, but are not limited to:

Liens, back taxes, or refund offsets
Errors, inconsistencies, or missing information
Identity fraud
Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation, which can take 11-14 weeks to process

Also, if you chose direct deposit, your financial institution may need another day or two to post the refund to your account, so keep that in mind.

Your refund is handled by the IRS therefore TurboTax won't be able to assist with the refund processing and release of your refund but we can help guide you to get in touch with the IRS. It sounds like you may need to call them. Please see these TurboTax FAQ's on why some tax return refunds may take a while to be released and what steps you can take:
