Unfortunately TurboTax gets no information about the status of your refund.
In normal times, the IRS says that most filers get their refunds within 21 days from the time their tax return is accepted.
Many returns are taking longer now since the IRS did not process returns for a while and there is now a big backlog of unprocessed returns.
The IRS is currently not processing any mailed returns and is not taking any phone calls.

If you efiled your return, have you confirmed that the return was submitted by TurboTax and accepted by the IRS?

If accepted, what does the IRS tracking web site say about the status of your refund?

Here is an IRS Q&A with information about refunds:

The IRS will likely not schedule your stimulus payment until it has completely processed your tax return.

You can track it using the IRS stimulus payment portal: https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment
