I haven't yet an the IRS update just says processing and talks about the path act
Yes my date was the 25th and I received it on the 25th. Did you have to pay turbo tax if so that could be the reason it taking so long.
I think on the 2nd of feb and go on your laptop or tablet and look on your account transcript on irs.gov it should give you a date cause that where’s my refund not always accurate on the transcript it should have a date that’s more accurate. Also check turbo tax website that they go through when you owe them it’s taxpayer.sbtbg.com
I did pay them. I paid for the 5 day early refund also
The IRS issues most refunds within 21 days, assuming that there is no delay and nothing is holding your return. Some returns are subject to an automatic hold due to the Path Act when certain credits are claimed.
The (PATH Act) prevents the IRS from issuing early refunds (before mid-February) on any tax return that claims the Earned Income Tax Credit (EIC) and/or Additional Child Tax Credit. You can expect your refund by "March 3rd" assuming that there is no hold or other issues with your return. For more information click on the link below
When will I get my refund if I claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit?
You can monitor your refund status by using the links below

How do I track my state's refund?
Also Keep in mind that once your return is accepted for processing by the IRS and/or State we have no control over your return. You should track your refund directly from the IRS and/or Department of Revenue’s Website. These websites have the most accurate and up to date information and they get updated once a day.
Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities. There is no rule as to which one will come in first or how long it will be between their arrival in your account.
TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer. “21 days” is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.
First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.
You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:
To track your state refund:
If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing
.
If you are getting earned income credit on line 27 or additional child tax credit on line 28 You are subject to the delay required by the PATH act. Do not expect your refund before early March
Note: “Accepted” is not the same as “approved”. TurboTax tells you the e-file was accepted if the IRS deems that there is enough information on the return for them to take it in for processing. Only the IRS can approve of the refund, which is a later stage of processing. If the IRS approves your refund they will provide a date for the refund to be issued.
Why would it take longer if I had to pay TurboTax to get my refund?
If you claimed the EIC or Additional Child Tax Credit, you can expect to get your refund by March 3 as long as you e-filed, chose to get your refund via direct deposit, and have no issues with your return.
The IRS will update projected deposit dates for most early EITC/ACTC filers by February 22. As the IRS processes refunds for customers who claimed EIC or CTC, you will see an updated projected refund date on the IRS Where’s My Refund site.
Still have not to this day of March 9 2025. Received all other tax income weeks ago
@Chefmatt858 Not sure what the "all other tax income" was that you received. If you were getting EIC it was included in your federal refund--it is not sent as a separate refund. You will see EIC on line 27 of your Form 1040 if it was on your return.
Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

Have you check the "Where's my IRS Refund" site? This is the best place to receive updates on you refund.
I filed early February and still haven't received my tax refund. 🙃 I've received 2 letters and have even called and spoken with the IRS. They said they are still reviewing my return. It sucks because I had to pay out of pocket for my Turbo tax because of the delay.
@Rie8507 You have an issue that is between you and the IRS. TurboTax gets no information from the IRS after you file your tax return. TurboTax cannot intercede with the IRS or speed them up for you. TurboTax provided the software for you to prepare a "do-it-yourself" tax return.
Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions."
- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything.
- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.
Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.
Then press 3 for all other inquiries
It should then transfer you to an agent.
If you can't get good info from phoning the IRS, you can see if the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service can help you or find out more info for you. They are especially prone to help if you have a hardship or have problems getting info from the IRS.
