Has anyone not received the refund 5 days early and yet paid that fee to get it 5 days early??

Yes I did sign up n received mine 5 days early . I suggest looking at your transcript for a more accurate date than using where’s my refund . If you go to irs.gov & look for most recent 2024 account transcript look on that with code 846 there will be a date that’s when you will receive your refund .

The up to 5 day early fee is deducted from your refund.  If it is not provided at least 1 days early it will not be deducted.

The 5 day early date is based on the date given to you on the IRS website.
