Not sure what you mean by today being "the last day for tax refund."  Today is the filing deadline if you owe tax due.  It is certainly not the last day anyone can receive a tax refund.  

 

If you e-filed your returns check to see if they were accepted:

If your returns were accepted:

To check on regular tax refund status via automated phone, call 800-829-1954. (This line has no information on Economic Impact Payments.)

TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  Many refunds are taking longer during the pandemic. 

 

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 20 of your Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

If your returns were not accepted then you have a different problem and it needs to be figured out.  Let us know what it says for your e-file status.
