TurboTax can only project the time to get your refund. The IRS has the real control. So we don't know.
Reasons your refund can be delayed
- If you mailed your return and expect a refund, it could take four weeks or more to process your return.
- In addition some tax returns take longer to process than others for many reasons, including when a return:
- Contains errors or is incomplete
- Needs further review in general
- Is affected by identity theft or fraud
- Was referred to the IRS by the bank due to suspicious activity
- Includes a claim filed for an Earned Income Tax Credit or an Additional Child Tax Credit. See Q&A below.
- Includes a Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation, which could take up to 14 weeks to process
- And I'm sure a host of other issues
