And the reason they "outsource" the debit card service is because they MUST per the IRS regulations ... it has to be done by a third party to prevent hanky panky.

Ok ... TurboTax has nothing to do with your refund ... they never touch your money.  When you use the refund processing service the refund goes from the IRS to that bank and then to the debit card you asked for.  There is nothing TT can do for you ... you must track down the refund yourself ... 

Once your return has been accepted (received) by the government, they take over the refund status update duties, since they hold the purse strings. The status in TurboTax will remain as "accepted."

Use the IRS Where's My Refund site for the latest word on your federal tax refund, and your state government's refund lookup service for the latest on your state refund.

 

Does this IRS "Where's My Refund" tool say your funds have actually been sent?

Did you have the TT fees withheld from the federal refund and are getting the refund on the Turbo Tax Debit card?

If so the refund needs to go from the IRS to the third party bank to the card.  This process can take up to 3 business days or more.
