    It is unfortunate that this has gone on so long for you. 

    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:

    Since it has been so long, you might try using the Taxpayer Advocate Service for help: https://www.irs.gov/taxpayer-advocate

     

    Some who have tried using it have posted back that they can't get the service to return a call after they leave a message.
