Did you get some?  Federal and state come separately from different places at different times.  If the IRS or state reduced your refund they will mail you a letter explaining.

 

Turbo Tax only gives you an estimated date. The IRS usually pays most refunds within 21 days. But these are not normal times. This year is taking the IRS longer to send the refunds. There are millions more people filing returns to get the Stimulus payment.
