Has anyone else had an issue with the IRS stating refund was sent over a week ago but the bank has no idea where it is?

Yes, there have been some instances of refunds taking a while to reach the bank.  However, you may want to verify that your routing and bank account information was entered accurately on your return.  If not, you will ultimately receive your refund by Check in the Mail.

 

You can view/print your return to verify your bank information.

 

When you print a copy of your return, we include everything that was sent to the government, plus extra documentation and calculation worksheets.

However, the printout won't include copies of the entry forms you got in the mail, such as W-2s or 1099s. If you need copies of those, contact whoever issued them originally.

Did you choose "refund processing?"   Did you choose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund?

 

if you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund then the banking information on the tax form is the information to send your refund to the third party bank.  That bank gets your refund first from the IRS.  They take out your TurboTax fees and send the rest to you---and that bank has YOUR direct deposit information.

 

 

When you choose "refund processing"   TurboTax gets its fees when the IRS releases your refund.  Your refund goes to the third party bank.  The bank takes out your fees and then that bank sends the rest of the refund to you.
