How long after the refund bar is complete does it take for a refund to hit?

For many, the deposit hits before the third bar is yellow. Hope this helps.

When the blue line/ bar is complete, it means that the IRS has accepted your return and that you should have an estimated refund date soon(if you are expecting a tax refund).TurboTax just estimates your refund date based on the IRS 21 timeframe.

For the most up to date information regarding your return you would want to check your status on the IRS Where’s My Federal Refund? site. . Updates are made daily, usually overnight.

The IRS issues most refunds in about 21 days, although some returns take more time to review.

When will I get my IRS tax refund?

Only bar I see is the blue bar.. where do I see these other bars? I got a tax break this year o filed on the 28th of January every time I try to track it it say no information but I got the email verification.. this week will make 30days.. I just wish someone could actually talk to me.. I'm feeling frustrated with the lack of info I'm getting back. I like TurboTax.. but I'm feeling lost right now

The first batch of refunds will go out sometime this week for the tax filers that claimed Earned Income Tax Credit and/or an Additional Child Tax Credit. If you fall into this category you should be receiving an update from the IRS soon.

Keep checking Where's My Refund? periodically.

 

If you did not file EIC or ACTC and it has been longer than 21 days since your return was accepted, please contact the IRS. 

Please look at the IRS contact information below. 

What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?

Turbo Tax does not have information on where your refund is once the return has been accepted. @Tee120
