The IRS releases most refunds within 21 calendar days after the e-file has been accepted or received, not 21 days from the e-filing date. For mailed returns, please allow 5-6 weeks from the postmark date.

24 hours after your federal return has been accepted, you may look them up on Where's My Refund?
