You can track the status of your return on the IRS Where's My Refund? site. That is where you will find the most up-to-date information regarding the status of your tax return and a specific date of when to expect your refund.
Per the IRS, most refunds are received within 21 days from the time a return has been accepted and a refund option is selected. Once the IRS sends the money to your bank the time frame for seeing the deposit in your account is based upon how quickly your bank accepts and deposits the funds.

For additional information, please see the TurboTax FAQ When will I get my IRS refund?
If you claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) there will be a delay in processing your tax return as the IRS just started processing returns with those credits this week.
Please see the TurboTax FAQ: Some 2019 federal refunds are delayed due to the PATH Act for more information.

Most Federal REFUNDS are issued within 21 business days of the return being accepted by the IRS (this is not based on when you filed).

Please keep in mind that once you e-file or mail your return only the IRS has any control over it.

The IRS will notify TurboTax when your return is accepted, there are no more updates given for the next 2 stages of Processing and Approval.

You have to go to Where's my Refund to get any further information.

Here is help for tracking your Federal Refund:

If you qualified for the Earned income credit or Additional Child Tax Credit here is more information about the PATH Act delay, but keep in mind that the IRS site for Where's my refund, https://www.irs.gov/refunds is the final authority.

While most refunds are issued within 21 days, sometimes there can be delays.

Please see the following information about contacting the IRS if it has been more than 21 days:
