How long after the IRS sends my direct deposit will the funds be available on my turbo Tax card

[Critter]

The refund has to go from the IRS to the processing bank to the card ... so it has 2 bank stops to make. This total process can take up to 3 business days to  complete ... check with the third party bank & your card for more information.

When the status of your refund is Refund Sent, it means the IRS has sent your refund to your financial institution for direct deposit. This status will tell you when your refund was sent to your bank. It may take your financial institution 1 – 5 days to deposit the funds into your account. Please wait until it’s been five days from the date we sent the refund to your bank to check with your bank about the status of your refund. This time frame is provided to allow for the variations in how and when banks deposit funds.  

If you haven't received your refund in your account after the 5 day waiting period, you can call the IRS. IRS representatives will be able to research the status of your refund if your return was accepted (received) more than 21 calendar days ago. The number to call them at is 1-800-829-1040, but prepare yourself for a potentially long wait times.

You mean to tell me that I really have to wait 5 business days to get my refund after the IRS has sent it to my TurboTax debit card??

The IRS tells you to allow 1-5 days for the refund to post to your account.  Have you done that?
